Rhode Island's Future Rules?

A group of researchers has recommended that Rhode Island limit aquaculture operations to no more than 5% of any water body in the state. The group’s recommendation, though, is not in tension with current water use. Only 110 acres of water are currently used for aquaculture, and that includes well less than 1% of most water bodies and just 1% of coastal salt ponds. There remains plenty of room for safe, smart growth.
