This is a win - win proposal and venture. It’s clean and every community needs healthy, locally sourced food. sourced

Have things gotten to the point that some people now believe providing good food and cleaning the environment is somehow detrimental?

This should be a no-brainer. Creates local jobs, helps the environment, and helps the economy. Go Dan!

I have known Daniel Torre for 23 years and can personally attest to his upstanding moral and ethical character. I do not say that anonymously either -- you can email me at [email protected] for a character reference or about how passionate Dan is for aquaculture. He is a responsible adult seeking to engage in an honest and communally beneficial business. Unfortunately, some in the local community does not see it as such. Oysters are not only delicious, but they are at significantly lower populations both locally and nationally compared with just a few centuries ago. There are countless municipal, state, and NGOs paying great sums of money to bring the populations back for their numerous benefits e.g. https://www.chesapeakebay.net/issues/oysters Oysters filter water to make it naturally cleaner, removing potentially harmful substances at a rate of 50 gallons a day per adult oyster! There are no chemicals or pesticides involved in their cultivation or harvest. It's a great injustice to witness an entrepreneur and lifelong aquaculture enthusiast be crushed beneath the heel of bureaucracy and ecological ignorance. Please support the Sakonnet river site and Aquidneck Oysters!

With wild stocks at dismal levels; no oyster farms means no oysters
