Turn more plugs?
RI is working on new proceedures for shellfish licensing (some info:
http://www.ci.uri.edu/projects/rifis...mittees/SC.htm ).
When the RI Rec SW license debates were going on, there was also a schedule for commercial licensing changes. One of the programs that was discussed last year was allowing an apprentice license with lower allowable catch than a regular license. That may or may not even be made available. There also may be an attrition factor that 2 regular license holders might need to exit the fishery before one new license holder can enter...
I'm sure a lot has gone on since then as they are a few months from starting the new regs...
