FALMOUTH — Waterways Committee discussed plans for harbor depth tracking standards and mooring regulations at October meeting. Vice Chairman Wayne Geyer proposed that the committee create more accurate depth records and post standards online, with Harbormaster Gregg Fraser noting his office can determine depths in spring, though permitting will take about two years. The committee reviewed 15 to 18 public comments on proposed Chapter 269 mooring regulations, with voting scheduled for November 4, 2026.
Construction at Waquoit Bay Boat Ramp is set to begin after October 20, and Ashumet Boat Ramp improvements are estimated at 550,000 dollars.
