AGENDA

1. Call to Order
2. North Cape proposal to import clams that have been raised in a nursery setting in either
   Long Island or SE Massachusetts.
3. Dale has proposed the following question: What limitations should we place on seed
   shellfish that are infected with a specific disease in terms of moving them to areas that
   already have a history of the disease at the new location? Specifically, if we have a lot of
   seed oysters that have a low level of infection of dermo, is there any good reason to deny
   allowing the seed to be moved into an area that is currently demonstrating an on-going
   level of dermo?
4. The previous question also brings up the question of testing for seed importation for
   diseases that are currently endemic. Is it still necessary?
5. Funding for disease surveys, especially if we are considering basing our regulations on
   the history of disease at particular sites.
6. In light of new applications for fresh water aquaculture what changes, if any, do we need
   to consider to the regulatory structure?
7. Adjourn
