Meyer. Members of the Shellfish Commission, along with Harbormaster Kate McConville and Head Shellfish Warden Nancy Ziomek got busy planning to bring back the upweller at their meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 12. The town-owned upweller, used to grow tiny shellfish, is located at the Block Island Maritime Institute docks next to their building in New Harbor. It takes a lot of work to nurture the shellfish with the hopes of growing them out to a large enough size that they can withstand predators. In past years it has been used to grow oysters and quahogs, but this past summer, with everything else going on, it went unused.
