Falmouth Shellfishing Reopens
Shellfishing in Falmouth was reopened Wednesday after heavy rain forced a closure.

Falmouth, along with Barnstable, Bourne, Sandwich, Mashpee and Lewis Bay in Yarmouth, were closed to shellfishing Saturday after thunderstorms drenched the region in more than 4 inches of rain, causing flooding.
