Shellfishing
Recreational shellfish are intended to be consumed by the harvester and family members. Recreational harvesters cannot offer their shellfish for sale or barter. Recreational harvesters must take care to properly handle their catch. Shellfish should be promptly refrigerated in a self-draining container.
Please note that permits are required for shellfishing. To obtain one please visit the Groton Town Office.
