I've been digging quahogs for 60 years. (That is not a typo). Quahoggers are literally the salt of the Earth here in Warwick. It is a resource we need to respect and protect. There is a large rock called "the spindle" near Patience/Prudence islands. I have spoken many times to DEM, Coastal Resourses, and a guy with the Coast Guard who knows the "spindle" intimately. That rock has been crashed into over a hundred times, and although no one has been killed yet, it's just a matter of time. Here is my commitment to all quahoggers; the rock is going to go! It's not safe. It can be pile-drived into small pieces that will provide shelter for fish breeding and that rock will no longer be a danger to us.
That is my goal for Narragansett Bay and especially those that make their living on it.
