Reed Joins DEM’s Monthly Coastal Survey Trawl of Narragansett Bay

In an effort to help monitor the health of Narragansett Bay and local fisheries, U.S. Senator Jack Reed today embarked on a trawl survey with experts from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) where he helped sort and count fish and other aquatic species before releasing the catch back into the ocean. For decades, DEM has conducted monthly surveys of Narragansett Bay, collecting and analyzing scientific data and providing it to the public and Rhode Islanders who make a living catching fish and other aquatic species on the Bay.
