Annual Shellfish Field Day
Annual Shellfish Field Day
DEI appreciates all the local efforts large and small that contribute to our success. Every year, DEI opens our doors for Shellfish Field Day, an informative and fun event for the public to join us and celebrate our community of innovation.
This year the 11th Annual Shellfish Field Day, which was to be held August 10, is cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. State guidelines prohibit gatherings of more than 50 people through August and DEI wishes to protect the well-being of our staff and community.
We hope to see everyone next summer for Shellfish Field Day, which will be held on August 14, 2021.
