Abstract
Commercial shellfishing is incompatible with the wildlife protection mandates of the urban National Park concept. State agencies advocate relaying of shellfish for commercial consumption. Biodepuration does not remove chemical contaminants which are lipophilic. Such programs which are based solely on bacteriological monitoring are inappropriate.
The conclusions and comments are the expressed opinions of Dr. Tanacredi and do not necessarily reflect the policy of the National Park Service or the U.S. Department of the Interior.
