A commercial shellfisherman s arrest Tuesday for digging quahogs at night in a closed waterway reminded a veteran environmental police officer of days gone by.
In the 1970s and into the 1980s, it wasn t unusual for officers to find themselves chasing shellfishermen who were trying to make an extra buck and breaking the law by shellfishing at night, said Daniel White, a captain with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management s law enforcement division. It s more of a rare occurrence now, White said.
That could be in part because development has pushed closer to the water, and it s difficult to find dark, secluded places to poach shellfish away from the prying eyes of potential witnesses, he said.
