Sue Machie

I have lived and worked on Cape Cod since the late 1970’s. I live on Horizon Drive in the house my parents built when they retired after years of living abroad.

I retired from Aquacultural Research Corporation located in Dennis, MA after a 40 year career where I was one of the owners and worked as Director of Shellfish Culture . We created a successful aquaculture industry on Cape Cod and New England providing shellfish seed to the County, towns and individuals.

Since retiring, I became active with the APCC cyanobacteria sampling program testing Lovers Lake twice a month. I also have been working part-time for the Town of Chatham for the shellfish propagation department for the last two years.  I am the secretary of the board of the neighborhood association.

I am interested in continuing my support for the environmental health of our community by volunteering on the Friends of Chatham Waterways.
