โ [164] In conclusion, the applications of Town Point Consulting for AQ #1442, AQ #1433, and AQ #1444, are all approved, subject to the development of the Farm Management Plan, which must include the piping plover mitigation and monitoring plan using the 250m buffer as described above, as well as eel grass monitoring. TPC must make any necessary adjustments to its cages and equipment to ensure that there is no intrusion on the wild oyster existing harvesting areas.
[165] The Applicant should also make his proposed adjustment to AQ # 1444, to minimize any interference with the rarely used northern navigation route from the Harbour. โ
