<h3>What was to blame for the decline according to the article mentioned above?</h3>

2. According to the New York Times Article of 1985, the reason for the steep decline in the value of the Clamming industry was related to the loss of confidence in the health safety of eating raw shellfish.

3. According to the remarkable discovery of the "208 Study", it was discovered that there was a connection between land use and underground water quality. It was also discovered there was a negative impact of dumping sewers in the ocean on the production of shellfish

4. Some of the solutions that were proposed to manage this situation are:

  • The implementation of secondary sewage treatment supplemented by ocean disposal of the effluents and
  • Monitoring the salinity levels of the clamp ecosystem.
