Input needed: interpretive signage project for fishing port of Galilee

Seeking public input! The fishing community of the port of Galilee has recently obtained funding through the Rhode Island Foundation's Centennial Community Grants to create a series of seven interpretive signs around the port. The purpose of these signs is to educate the public about the heritage and economic and cultural value of the commercial fisheries that take place there. Every year thousands of visitors pass through this busy fishing port; these signs will make sure they take with them a deepened appreciation and understanding of this special place and its role in the local seafood economy. This community-owned project needs your input! Do you have content, stories, and photographs to share?

Are you a member of the fishing community of Galilee (past of present)? Please take this survey to share your ideas about what should be on these signs. http://bit.ly/PJSignsFisherman
