1 Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Marine Resources Program Best Management Practices for the Commercial Mariculture and Harvest of Molluscan Shellfish in Oregon Steve Rumrill, Shellfish Program Leader Oregon Shellfish Task Force: Netarts, OR / April 25, 2016
2 HB 2209 / Section 5 - OR Shellfish Task Force (2015) Identified the need to develop Best Management Practices as a component of the OR Shellfish Initiative (2) The task force shall develop and produce a draft OR Shellfish Initiative (c) Priorities for research and research funding (B) Develop Best Management Practices through cooperative efforts: commercial and recreational shellfish industries state and federal agencies academia BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES = Planning actions and mariculture operation techniques that are consistent with the conservation of wild shellfish stocks and shellfish habitats Goal for TF Mtg. today is to provide the background to help our discussion about BMPs
3 Definition: Best Management Practices BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (HB2209) = Planning actions and mariculture operation techniques that are consistent with the conservation of wild shellfish stocks and shellfish habitats Best Management Practices are the group of mutually agreed-upon actions and procedures that are followed to protect estuarine habitats, conserve living resources, and ensure regulatory complience during commercial shellfish growing and harvest operations. BENEFITS of Best Management Practices!!!
4 Environmental Policy (2001) Environmental Codes of Practice (2002) general principles & guidance Best Management Practices for individual shellfish farms
5 Environmental Policy (2001) = General Principles Environmental Stewardship & Responsible Management Environmental Excellence Regulatory Compliance Waste Management Sharing Resources Still relevant in 2016
6 Environmental Codes of Practice (2002) Identification of existing federal, state & local regulations Identification of best available science (Bibliography/Webliography) Identification of current cultivation methods & best management practices Individual Farm Management Plan templates Should be updated & revised for 2016
7 ECOP Chapters (2002): Overview of industry Environmental Health Impacts General Management Principles Pest & Predator Control Hatchery & Nursery Operations Species Specific Operations Processing & Shipping Compliance & Monitoring Shellfish Industry Regulations: Federal, State, Local Research Bibliography & References Farm Plan Templates
8 Best Management Practices for the East Coast Shellfish Aquaculture Industry G. Flimlin, S. Macfarlane, E. Rhodes, K. Rhodes (June 2010)
9 Best Management Practices for the East Coast Shellfish Aquaculture Industry (2010) Table of Contents: Introduction to codes and BMPs Description of shellfish culture methods Codes of conduct for molluscan shellfish culture BMP elements Permits Siting Issues Good neighbor policy Seed sources Operational & maintenance issues Handling & reporting diseases Protected species & habitats Shellfish sanitation protecting human health Record keeping & monitoring Farm-level BMP template Contacts Bibliography
10 Best Management Practices for the British Columbia Shellfish Aquaculture Industry published 2001 revised 2013
11 Task Ahead for OR Shellfish Initiative ( ): Need to build on expertise from: industry (PCSGA / EP + ECOP) federal, state & local agencies coastal tribes academia NGOs & public stakeholders to update/revise/develop broader BMP manual for commercial shellfish mariculture and harvest operations along Oregon coast
12 Scope: Best Management Practices General issues / actions encompassed by BMPs (proposed): Permitting & Siting Gear/Operation & Maintenance Hatcheries & Broodstock Harvest of Wild Stocks Environmental Concerns Seafood Safety & Water Quality User Conflicts Research Gaps
13 Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Marine Resources Program Oregon Wildlife Policy / ORS wildlife shall be managed to prevent serious depletion of any indigenous species and to provide the optimum recreational and aesthetic benefits for present and future generations of the citizens of this state.
14 Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Marine Resources Program ODFW goals for wildlife management: 1. Maintain all species of wildlife at optimum levels; 2. Develop and manage the lands and waters in a manner that will enhance the production and public enjoyment of wildlife; 3. Permit an orderly and equitable utilization of available wildlife; 4. Develop and maintain public access to the lands and waters and wildlife resources; 5. Regulate wildlife populations and the public enjoyment of wildlife in a manner that is compatible with primary uses of the lands and waters; 6. Provide optimum recreational benefits; 7. Make decisions that affect wildlife resources for the benefit of wildlife resources, and make decisions that allow the best social, economic, and recreational utilization of wildlife by all user groups. Oregon Wildlife Policy / ORS
