AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Memorial Day Weather: Rhode Island is heading into the holiday with a cool, damp, mostly overcast Sunday—rain starting early, highs only in the mid-to-upper 50s, and showers lingering into the evening. Quahog & Shellfishing Watch: Portsmouth’s shoreline shellfishing is reopening for the first time since 1975 after water testing standards were met, but longtime quahoggers are still skeptical the fix will reverse years of decline. Pollinator Good News: A bee long thought extinct since 1960 has been spotted again in Rhode Island, with researchers logging 25 never-before-recorded bee species statewide—an encouraging sign for conservation. Public Health & Water Safety: East Coast coverage is flagging a rising “flesh-eating” Vibrio risk in warm waters, keeping beachgoers and swimmers on alert. Weekend Logistics: Burlingame State Campground won’t open this Memorial Day weekend due to construction delays, and RIDOT plans lane shifts on Post Road in North Kingstown starting May 29.
