Two oyster farms threaten access to pristine coastline in Tiverton around the Seapowet Marsh. Recreational users, neighbors, and local residents need your help to fight this threat. We are raising money for a legal defense fund. We can’t navigate the complex policies of the powerful Coastal Resources Management Council (the state permitting agency) alone. The CRMC could make a decision as soon as mid-July.

Our local community, boaters, kayakers, fishermen, conservationists, and those who value access to Tiverton’s beautiful coastline waters are grateful for your support. Thank you!
