Saving the Scallop

Wild Bay Scallops

Diving for Scallops

Nantucket is the only wild Bay Scallop Fishery left on the east coast, and there are many people out there helping to keep our precious shellfish alive and well.

From Harbormaster Dave Fronzuto's efforts, to people in our Town Biology Department, to the scallopers themselves, strides are being made in leaps and bounds this year, it seems, to help increase our local scallop population.

Take a look at our list of links to see more information on Nantucket's Bay Scallops, and check out our slideshow and video below for more on the water in Nantucket.
