The fish deaths were attributed to low oxygen under winter ice rather than direct blasting injuries. However, dust-control and blasting-vibration concerns were referred for review under applicable air-quality and town regulations. The commission received educational posters about mitten crabs and sought permission to post information near 8-mile Brook and Jackson’s Cove.
