Program areas at Quahog Bay Conservation
Mitigation Activities - QBC is involved with many different aquatic pollution and invasive species mitigation projects.First: QBC has been removing, and will continue to remove, trash at the surface by boat, and trash and debris below the surface by scuba divers. This will improve the water quality in this area.Second: QBC maintains and operates a Septic Pump Out Boat, which provides a free service for traveling boat cruisers, giving them the opportunity to have their septic holding tanks pumped rather than blowing them out at sea.
Third: QBC is one of Maine's largest Invasive Green Crab trappers. QBC traps approximately 10,000 lbs. of Invasive Green Crabs out of Quahog Bay yearly.Fourth: QBC routinely performs stationary water sampling within Quahog Bay. Thesesamples are tested for pollutants, data is documented and shared with the State of Maine Marine Research Groups.Fifth: QBC has launched an Oyster farm within Quahog Bay. Each oyster filters 50 gallons of bay water per day and when they reach maturity, will be sold and profits go directly back into QBC.
