Shellfish harvesting has been done at Conscience Point since before the English settlers arrived. The goal of the Conscience Point Shellfish Hatchery is to produce oysters to create oyster reefs to curtail erosion, as well as to clean local water.
We are very concerned that this worthwhile endeavor is in jeopardy. Please allow the Conscience Point Shellfish Hatchery to continue to exist.

Come CleanThe letter submitted by Stephen Ring regarding the “Jose Reyes” farce, which offers praise to the letter writer and a parallel to “Deep Throat” [“Backroom Deals,” Letters, May 15] only makes this situation more preposterous. It’s generally understood that Mark...
