A NOAA Fisheries research vessel, the R/V Victor Loosanoff, will be in Greenwich waters from Monday, Oct 1 through Friday, Oct 5, to allow scientists to conduct a shellfish population survey. This survey is an important piece of an ongoing study which will provide the town, and particularly shellfish growers and harvesters, with data on the value of shellfish beyond the seafood market.

These suspension-feeding animals incorporate nutrients from their food into their own tissue and shell as they grow. Continue Reading →
