The Rhode Island Shellfish Management Plan (SMP) is the culmination of two years of effort and engagement by the Rhode Island shellfish community inclusively, facilitated by the Coastal Resources Center/ Rhode Island Sea Grant at the Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island. The shellfish community, or stakeholders, involved in crafting and editing the plan include state and federal management agencies, the commercial wild harvest shellfish industry, the aquaculture industry, non-profit and citizen organizations, recreational harvesters, and the academic communities at URI, Roger Williams University, and others throughout the state. Guided by the principles of conducting an open, transparent, stakeholder-driven process that would honor and further existing activities on the Bay and coastal salt ponds, the SMP strived to identify key issues then craft management and science recommendations that the state agencies can use to ensure sound management of shellfish resources into the future.
