📰 News we're reading

• State extends shellfishing at Fox Creek through end of May (thelocalnews.news) — Ipswich clammers can keep working Fox Creek through May, after state fisheries officials confirmed the creek’s water quality meets standards for shellfish harvesting. Local experts say clam populations are still in a downcycle, but continued testing could eventually lead to year‑round openings at Fox Creek and possibly near Treadwell Island, which would reshape local shellfishing opportunities.
