QUINCY - Three men were fined more than $1,500 after they were caught taking more than 200 shellfish and several illegally sized striped bass from contaminated tidal flats in Quincy on Saturday.
The Massachusetts Environmental Police said the men, who were not identified, were intercepted in a motorboat near the remains of the Long Island Bridge after officers on shore in Quincy saw them leaving the mud flats with a variety of shellfish. The agency said the men were caught with six illegally sized striped bass, 162 oysters, 56 razor clams, one soft shell clam and one quahog.
The men were charged with civil violations of marine fisheries laws. Police also seized their boat and are seeking to have it forfeited.
