The Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation [cfrfoundation.org] will be conducting ghost gear removal activities in Narragansett Bay February 20-26, 2024. The target areas for removal are the west passage and NW of Patience Island towing south towards Pine Hill and then continuing south to the North portion of Hope Island.
Please contact Susan Inglis; singlis@cfrfoundation.org if you have any questions or have gear in the areas we are targeting so we can avoid it.
Thank you.
