Report
By
Senator.
Joesph Thomas
Sen. Joseph E. Thomas, D-Craven, along: with
other coastal senators, has introduced Senate Bill
398, which would require increased state
monitoring of suspected pollution in coastal
shellfish waters.
The bill is a direct response to the controversy
over recent and total shutdowns of shellfish
harvesting by state officials, when pollution was
found in certain areas of coastal waters.
“In meetings with the Department of Human
Resources,” Thomas said, “we found that the
closings, while obviously necessary in the
polluted areas, could have been greatly curtailed
in some harvesting areas. The drawback was that
monitoring resources just were not available for
officials to guarantee the safety of these areas.
This bill is designed to provide those resources—
and safety.”
“I’m convinced that an intense monitoring
program can more quickly respond with
individual area closings and avoid statewide
shutdowns of this valuable industry,” Thomas
said. “Certainly this increased monitoring
process can be cost-effective when considered in
terms of the tax revenue produced from the
commercial fishing and tourist industry.”
The bill also instructs state officials to
immediately reidentify coastal waters for points
of pollution and to open those areas that have
been closed as rapidly as possible.
Co-sponsors of the bill include Senators Melvin
Daniels, D-Pasquotank, A.D. Guy, D-Onslow,
and R.C. Soles, D-Columbus.
Thomas is chairman of the Senate Committee
on Natural and Economic Resources and
Wildlife.
