Coastal enforcement hits a long-running sore spot: Rhode Island AG Peter Neronha sued Quidnessett Country Club over a 600-foot rock wall that state regulators ordered removed in 2023, alleging violations of environmental law and continued trespass on tidal lands—another chapter in the fight over shoreline access and CRMC authority. Shellfish & water quality culture: Quahog Week returns May 17–23, with statewide specials and three free public events highlighting Narragansett Bay’s quahog industry and the water-quality work that keeps shellfish waters open. River herring gets a tech boost: Scientists are using AI to count river herring during their spring migration in North Kingstown, aiming to speed up monitoring as populations decline. Salt marsh restoration nears finish: Jacob’s Point Preserve’s Phase 3 is close to completion, improving tidal flow and reducing invasive growth to protect habitat. Local infrastructure relief: RIDOT says Kingston Station’s $3.1M parking expansion is on track to open by late summer/early fall.
