Title
Stonington Stocks Oyster Beds
What occurred
The Stonington Shellfish Commons stocked three areas on the coast with oysters and clams. They can be harvested by residents who pay for a permit. The hope is to promote clean waterways and to reintroduce the creatures to the area. People will not have to purchase shellfish that travels many miles to get to them, this provides a cheaper and local alternative.
