The Story of Clean Water and Quahogs

The Narragansett Bay Estuary Program (NBEP) created a great StoryMap titled “Clean Water and Quahogs: Changes in Narragansett Bay“. You are able to learn about the historic closures to shellfish grounds and why some areas are closed to shellfishing. Through an interactive map you can compare years to see how the approved shellfishing grounds have changed over time and what is being done to open not only more areas but the number of days you can access your favorite spots. If you are interested in learning more about the shellfishing areas, you can checkout the post on this website “State Agencies Release Updates“
