Please join us for a public meeting to discuss the RI Shellfish Management Plan (SMP) on Monday, September 29th, 5pm-7pm in Corless Auditorium at the URI Graduate School of Oceanography. At this meeting, we will announce the completed Shellfish Management Plan ready for public review, discuss SMP progress and actions over the last year, glimpse into each chapter, and discuss future steps in an open forum. We also will hear summer highlights from industry leaders and get inspired from Director Coit. Refreshments will be served prior to the event. All are welcome, but space is limited so please RSVP to smp@etal.uri.edu
