Natural marine resources were an essential component of the development of the Salem Sound region, and are important today because of their cultural, aesthetic, commercial, and recreational value. Massachusetts Department of Marine Fisheries conducted a year-long study in 1997, focusing on the status of marine fishery resources and water quality. The study also assisted the conservation interests of local and inter-agency groups, provided limited comparisons to Department of Marine Fisheries studies on marine resources in the 1960s and 1970s, and provided baseline information to assist the review of large regional projects.
