Noelle Kohles, chief nursing and clinical operations officer at the health center, said there were about 1,200 appointments on Saturday and that most belonged to workers from the fishing industry.

New Bedford clam bar can t reopen yet, under state review

NEW BEDFORD  Last summer, you may have walked down to Pier 3, picked up a lobster roll or clam cakes from the city s new clam bar, The Whale s Tail, and enjoyed your meal while watching commercial fishing vessels maneuver around the port.  Whether that can happen again is up to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. The agency is currently reviewing the New Bedford Port Authority s application to change the authorized use of the 208-square-foot shed in which the clam bar sits from water-dependent, industrial use to restaurant use. Edmund Coletta, press secretary for MassDEP, said in an email that the use of the shed for a restaurant has not been authorized and will not be authorized unless and until a license has been issued. Last summer, the clam bar operated without the necessary state authorization.
