Can dredging help with Cape Cod’s pollution problem? The rapid development on Cape Cod over the last 20 years has taken a severe toll on its once-pristine saltwater estuaries. As the population has boomed, so has the amount of nitrogen pollution seeping into these delicate ecosystems. Although fertilizer and road runoff are major contributors, septic systems are believed to be the primary culprit. With nearly 85% of Cape Cod homes relying on in-ground septic systems, nitrogen from wastewater easily filters through the region's porous soil and into the bays. This excess nitrogen fuels algal blooms and excessive plant growth which suffocates the environment. Eventually all that remains is a dark mucky oxygen deprived environment in which anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria can survive - hence why these “Dead Zones” are easily identifiable by the smell of the sediment on the bottom. Jake Angelo, a commercial clammer on Cape is working closely with the town to see how dredging can potentially mitigate these harmful effects of overdevelopment. And so far things seem to be promising - so is dredging good or bad for the environment? In many instances it’s bad, but in this specific case it might actually help. Only time will tell and it will likely take a while to have reproducible data. Sadly time is not something Cape Cod locals let alone commercial fishermen have, as every year more and more development encroaches upon a once hidden gem. #massachusetts #boston
