Polluted Bay Shellfishing War Shrinks Rhode Island Harvests
Severe rainfall floods Providence sewers sending raw sewage into Narragansett Bay. Authorities ban shellfishing in 6 percent of the upper bay for seven days, harming a $15 million to $25 million industry and driving some fishermen to illegal, unsafe harvesting. Areas near the plant remain closed as DEM studies link quahogs to health risks.

A March 1969 photo shows crewmen Woody Kemp and John Roberta handling an 2,278-bushel quahoge catch on the deck of the vessel Wando River at Warren, Alabama. A pollution fear lingers though, amid Rhode Island voters approving an 87.7 million bond issue to clean Providence area sewage discharges.
