A new aquaculture farm recently won approval from the state Coastal Resources Management Council, the harbor commissioners learned at their December meeting.
Adam Silkes plans to build a longline blue mussel farm off Jamestown’s west shore. The farm will encompass 8.25 acres, according to the CRMC.
The coastal council approved the application at its Nov. 26 meeting, and the deadline for filing a Superior Court complaint about the decision is Jan. 3.
“It’s very interesting the CRMC decided to allow Silkes to do aquaculture here, and he’s doing mussels,” said Harbor Chairman Michael de Angeli.
