Conimicut Point to shellfishing later this
year. The plan is somewhat controversial,
however, because DEM research has found
that a large percentage of the quahogs
found throughout the bay are spawned
from shellfish growing in formerly closed
areas of the Providence River.
“Some shellfishermen are dying to get
access there, while others are concerned
about the golden goose that’s feeding the
other areas,” Liberti says. “There’s also
concern about flooding the market, with
new people jumping into the business to
take advantage of the quahog population
there and depressing the market price.”
Even without the new area opening
up, Narragansett Bay appears to contain
plenty of quahogs to keep the industry
going. DEM conducts a variety of surveys
and research studies each year to monitor
the quahog population and learn how
climate change, pollution, food availability
and other issues may affect the fishery.
According to Conor McManus, deputy
chief of the DEM Division of Marine Fisheries,
the quahog population is stable in
most parts of Narragansett Bay and some
areas have even experienced an increase.
