2022- 2023 Scituate Aquaculture Program

In November 2021, while the town finalizes ownership of the flats, the Select Board charged the Shellfish Advisory Committee with designing and implementing a pilot aquaculture program beyond the mean low tide of Briggs Harbor/ Bassing Beach flats. During 2022, the committee is working to propose and implement a small pilot commercial aquaculture program that honors the fishing tradition and heritage of Scituate by diversifying and expanding our blue economy while recognizing and promoting existing recreational usage of Briggs Harbor/ Bassings Beach.
