RESCUE OUR RIVER

Our Story

We are a  group of citizens and business owners in East Lyme and Waterford committed to preserving the health, safety and well-being of everyone who uses the river -- residents and visitors alike. Our goal is to maintain the delicate ecosystem of the Niantic River and the quality of life in, on and around the estuary. We collectively stand to preserve the character of residential communities on both sides of the river, the economic viability of local businesses, the protection of our natural resources, and the peaceful enjoyment of the Niantic River and surrounding areas.

SAY NO TO INDUSTRIAL SHELLFISH FARMING IN THE NIANTIC RIVER.
Industrial shellfish operations that use suspended or floating ropes, trays and bags to cultivate shellfish will mar the Niantic River, causing irreparable harm to the estuary and the communities of East Lyme and Waterford. If allowed, this type of industrial shellfishing will undermine the protection and enjoyment of natural resources, put paddlers (canoes, kayaks and other small watercraft) at risk, threaten the economic well being of communities on both sides of the river, and prioritize business profits over public access to a natural treasure (and with NO impact to the economic well-being of our towns.)
