Connecticut Shellfish Restoration Projects linked to Estuarine Health –Paper presented 9^th International Shellfish Restoration Conference Nov 18, 2006- Charleston, South Carolina

-Abstract

A series of CT Sea grant/Extension shellfish restoration programs for hard clam (Mercenerica), soft clam (Mya arenaria), oyster (Crassostrea virginica), and bay scallop (Arogopectin irradians) were coordinated with local municipal shellfish commission in the 1980’s. Potential candidates for projects were identify by local environmental fisheries history, shellfish maps, natural beds and local shellfish surveys. Several restoration projects were undertaken with federal, state and local agency assistance. Results were highly state-specific; some yielded almost immediate positive results, and some, complete failures.

Case histories and observations about the following tidal rivers. East Neck, Hammonassett, Oyster, Pattaganisett, Poquonnock and Niantic are included.
