An Act instructing the Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game to study the feasibility of repurposing the former Moon Island Sewage Treatment Plant for the purposes of fish and shellfish farms

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game to evaluate whether the former Moon Island Sewage Treatment Plant in Boston Harbor can be converted into a fish and shellfish farm. The study would specifically examine the use of the site's large, deep granite storage tanks for aquaculture, which proponents suggest could improve local water quality and support marine life. The report must be completed by December 15, 2024, and shared with city and state officials, including mayors and conservation commissions. Additionally, the proposal includes plans for the facility to serve as an educational resource for public and private schools.
