The current list of applicants includes only eight residents, and one nonresident. The month requirement appears to go back to a time when there was some competition for the 20 licenses. Timing of license renewals is also problematic. As of now, license renewals occur on January first. However, commercial shellfish license holders must show proof of a state license as well, and state licenses are also renewed on January first.
Fallon noted that the state has been slow to renew licenses, and so far, he has not received his. Fitzpatrick suggested rolling back the town renewal date to December first. That way, the applicant can use their current state license to renew their town one, even though the state license would expire after a month.
The commissioners decided to study up on state requirements before sending any specific language changes to the regulations to the Town Council for approval. They hope to finalize any changes at their next meeting in February.

They are so rare that there has not been an open season on soft-shell clams for the past couple of years. His statement spurred a discussion on how the green crab population could be reduced. Commissioner Ray Boucher said he would be willing to compost the crabs. Resident Chris Warfel said that he had included green crabs in his proposal for composting at the Transfer Station a few years ago, and that it took six months for the crabs to be fully composted.
When told there could be a lot of crabs, he said he was okay with that. Warfel, who owns Sun Farm Oysters and has aquaculture leases in the GSP, was there to seek approval for changes he would like to make to his lease, specifically the one near Cormorant Cove. Warfel moves his oysters from his lease area in the inner ponds for the summer. Per the lease all anchors and gear are to be removed by Columbus Day each year. Warfel would like for the anchors to be left in place throughout the year, something that would take the guesswork out of properly locating them again each spring.
This is particularly challenging as there are six subleases in the area. The primary lease is to the town. He also would like the time period extended by about a week in the spring and into November in the fall. This would give him more time to move the oysters, he said. Other changes are to how the leases are marked, and who supplies the markers. We would take our lines out and just leave the anchors, so we would leave areas open.
