Please be advised that amendments to RI Marine Fisheries regulations Part 4 - Shellfish were filed last week regarding amendments to shellfish harvest schedules for Greenwich Bay and Bissel Cove/Fox Island Shellfish Management Areas.  The schedule for the Greenwich Bay and Bissel Cove/Fox Island Shellfish Management Areas for December 2020 is as follows:



December 2020: Open from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on December 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30. If one (1) of these dates is closed due to water quality impairment, December 31 will open for harvest.



Please also be advised that as both management areas have recently been closed due to water quality impairment/rainfall, December 31 will be open to harvest per the amended schedule.



Thank you.
