A combination of rain (about a half inch in Providence and in Taunton) and snow melt overnight on Monday, Jan. 23, caused the R.I. Department of Environmental Management to close the Conimicut Triangle, Greenwich Bay, Kickemuit River and Mt. Hope Bay to shellfishing.
Then more rain on Friday, Jan. 27, extended the closures.
The areas are now due to reopen at sunrise on Sunday, Feb. 5. For updates on conditional areas, call the DEM hotline at 222-2900.
