The Town's Shellfish Committee met on the 28th of November and voted unanimously to recommend to the Selectmen that only family scalloping will be allowed this season. Research into the pond's beds show an abundance of seed and not a significant amount of adult scallops for commercial fisherman to harvest. If an area is discovered to have and abundance of marketable scallops, the committee will meet again and discuss opening up for commercial fishing.

The monthly clinic will be this Thursday, December 15th, from 2 - 3 pm. stop by Town Hall and have nurse Mary McLaughlin pump you up!
