The
Bacterial Monitoring Program employs the services of volunteers
and government scientists to measure and track bacteria levels.
This information helps all stakeholders to understand and
implement strategies to protect the sensitive harvesting areas.
ECW uses a multi-faceted approach to
reclaiming beaches for soft-shell clam harvesting, including
biological assessments, extensive public education and, most
importantly, open and clear communications between all
stakeholder groups within the New Brunswick clam industry. ECW
established a safe environment, free from judgement and blame,
that continues to allow soft-shell harvesters, processors,
government at all levels, as well as members of the public and
local business community to work together to find real,
sustainable solutions to this environmental, social and economic
issue.
