Polygons are based on locations indicated by town officials, harvesters, Harbormasters, MEDMR biologists, MEDMR specialists, MEDMR Marine Patrol officers or MEDMR scientists from February 2008 to September 2010. POLYGON codes include: Town, County, Species, NOAA_Chart, Updated, Acres and Source. A COMMENT field indicates sea scallop locations obtained from MEDMR sea scallop tow survey data generated during 2005 - 2009.
