This workbook is designed to help municipal shellfish committees apply for limited purpose aquaculture permits (LPA). These permits are required for various conservation projects, particularly focused on reseeding or revitalizing wild spawning. It was created collaboratively, with members of the DMR, various municipal shellfish committees, and others working to provide materials and input on the final product.
This workbook moves section by section of the application, including photos, videos and hyperlinks to various parts of the DMR website. Please use the buttons below to navigate the workbook.
The Downeast Institute has also created a short video as part of their Clam Kit Series which gives a overview of the entire LPA application process as well as describes some of the research projects that can be undertaken with LPAs in place. The video is posted below.
