- Abstract
- The operational and intergovernmental practices of state shellfish programs were examined to view the current status of these state programs. A questionnaire was used to perform the study. States are currently in compliance with directives and requirements of the Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference. Obstacles discovered to efficient and effective state implementation of these duties include insufficient resources, state doubt in the validity of established bacteriological standards, and a general lack of legislative and public awareness. An effective approach to aid in the coordination of state efforts under the Conference is the full exchange of information among neighboring states. A strong need exists for a realistic and continuing evaluation of the state role in shellfish management.
