Lobster, reformed “cockroaches of the sea” that are now a New England staple can be found at many local docks and markets in Rhode Island. Check out @gfi1251 famous lobster bisque recipe to fend off the cold this winter or check out @rimonthly “10 Things You Should Know” about selecting, purchasing, and caring for live lobster.

Monkfish may not be noted for its beauty, but it sure is tasty with a meaty texture and mild, sweet flavor similar to lobster. It’s a sustainable local species harvested in Rhode Island.

We’ve shared a few of our favorite recipes, including the 2018 RI Seafood Cook-off winning recipe.

Attention grad students! If you’re interested

Attention grad students!

If you’re interested in ocean, coastal, or Great Lake resources and in national policy, consider applying for the 2022 John A. Knauss Fellowship.

This program is sponsored by @seagrant_noaa and places qualified graduate students with hosts in the legislative and executive branches of government in Washington D.C. for a one year paid fellowship.

Past fellows have continued on with successful careers in government, academia, consulting, private industry, and nonprofits.

Send your application to @rhodeislandseagrant by Friday, February 19, 2021.

Can we turn the tide on the problem of plastics?

Can we turn the tide on the problem of plastics?

Last summer, a disturbing amount of plastic was found by scientists in Arctic ice cores along the Northwest passage.

“It was a punch to the stomach,” said @uri.gso professor @briceloose who was a part of the 18-day expedition.

The problem is plastics don’t degrade, breaking down into ever finer pieces that become virtually impossible to recover - leaving them to alter coastal and ocean ecosystems in ways we have yet to understand.

Roughly 9 billion tons of plastic has been created since WWII, and production isn’t expected to go down.

“If scientists are correct, there will be more plastic in the ocean that fish by 2050,” said @rhodeislandseagrant Director Dennis Nixon.

Read more @universityofri magazine or visit us to learn about ongoing research at URI or by Rhode Island Sea Grant. We are currently funding projects to better understand how and if microplastics act as vectors for disease and pollution that could be harmful for oysters and other filter feeding organisms.

November is Native American Heritage Month, and we wanted to highlight one aspect of the rich history of the Narragansett Tribe — the sacred token of gratitude, wampum.

Wampum are tubular purple and white beads made from quahog shells.

Allen Hazard, owner of @thepurpleshellgifts in Charlestown, is one of only three artisans in the world that make wampum and is featured shares how precious wampum is in Rhode Island’s Shellfish Heritage: An Ecological History, available from Rhode Island Sea Grant.
