Jones, Barry. 2nd Shellfish Habitat Restoration Workshop. Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment. 1996. 32 pp.

During June, 1996, a workshop on shellfish habitat restoration in the Gulf of Maine area was held in Saint John, New Brunswick. This was the second on this topic sponsored by the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment. Some 64 people attended from throughout the Maritimes and New England region, representing shellfish industries, researchers, resource regulators, conservation organizations and the general public. The objective of the workshop was to share management approaches, experiences and ideas relative to improving the quality of degraded marine shellfish habitat and to make recommendations to resolve existing problems for the overall environmental, economic and social benefit of the citizens of the Gulf of Maine. These recommendations of the working groups logically fell into four areas (not in priority order) as follows: Management & Regulation, Community Involvement & Public Education, Harvesting & Marketing, and Research & Development. This resource documents this workshop by presenting the presentation abstracts (from MA, ME and NB), and working group session summaries. Appendices list the participants, working group members, and notes to facilitators.
