  The objectives of the survey were to: (1) determine the distribution, relative abundance and biological data for surfclams (Spisula solidissima) and ocean quahogs (Arctica islandica); (2) collect dredge performance readings on each dredge haul, utilizing an archiving deplored multi- sensor sampling device attached to the clam dredge; (3) conduct approximately ten setup sites for a commercial survey; (4) collect sediment grab samples at commercial set-up sites; and (5) collect meat weights, gonad weights and shells from surf clam and ocean quahogs on a subset of station locations.
