| The HDC operates the 198-slip public marina at Pope’s
Island, which is located within the Hurricane Barrier in the upper harbor east
of the New Bedford/Fairhaven Bridge. Pope’s Island Marina opened in 1993
along the south side of the island with financial assistance from the
Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. The marina is one of
the finest public facilities on the East Coast. Support services include
on-site laundry facilities, pump out facilities, shower rooms, and conference
room, with dockside water and electricity available. |

| Marina staff monitor channel 74 daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and
marina security is conducted 24 hours a day. |
| The marina is popular and its slips fill quickly. Preference
for future docking is given to boaters currently using the facility. The marina
maintains a waiting list of boaters who want to rent slips. The docking fee is
$90 per foot of vessel length. The marina also reserves several slips for
transient dockage, at a rate of $3.25 per foot of vessel length. For more
