Yesterday, Senator Julian Cyr and @rep.dylanfernandes presented a check for $58,000 to @nrdack that will be destined to shellfish propagation on Nantucket. . Senator Cyr, “Shellfish propagation represents a win-win for Nantucket, its heritage industry, its economic development, it’s future, and the water quality of its shores and harbors because it helps in reducing nitrogen in the water” . @rep.dylanfernandes, “It has been such a worthy cause supporting shellfish propagation on Nantucket. Two weeks ago, we were able to secure another $175,000 in the House budget on shellfish propagation for the region. In the last few years, we secured another $175,000 just for the Town of Nantucket.” . Natural Resources Director Jeff Carlson, “The Brant Point Hatchery and all the work we do here is possible thanks to their support.” . . #TownofNantucket #WaterQuality #localindustry
