Aquaculture Strategic Plan - Because of the beauty and bounty
of the Massachusetts coastline, many different interests compete for itsuse.
The goal of the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management Office (MCZM) is
to balance these interests by protecting the natural resources of the coast
while promoting responsible economic development.

Marine Resource Uses - This project is an offshoot of the Coastal
Resources Management Council's (CRMC) working group on aquaculture and
fisheries. The purpose of these charts is to identify various areas of
the state's waters that are used for fishing and aquaculture. Future work
will include identifying all of the stakeholders and including the areas
of the state's waters that are used.
This identification is critical to the planning of any future development.

research using motion simulation software - Net Systems of Bainbridge,
WA, used Working Model to analyze what effects ocean currents would have
on a spar holding a corner of its sea farming pen in place. Custom equations
apply forces to model the ocean current, spar buoyancy, and the water's
dragon the lower stabilizer disk. A spring/damper is switched on and off
to model the drag the net places on the spar.
