Interesting to see how this area has changed in the 22 years since this was filmed. The aerial shots at about 50 seconds in show that you could walk down from the lighthouse parking lot and walk for miles along the sand spit that extends to the south. I remember doing this back in the 80s. That sand spit has since been breached, and that breach has been eating away at the bluff on which the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge facility sits. I was just there about a month ago, and they've since had to tear down the visitors center there and half of the parking lot has been removed. The bluff there is eroding away at a rapid pace.

As a cape codder I'm glad this resource is still viable and basically regulated and sustainable by the fisherman themselves

It's still a vital shellfishing community, however the flats have shifted to create less of a yield. The legal battle over the rights to shellfish has not happened yet, so that part is still untested.
