This would help protect the state’s shellfish beds and keep its beaches free of harmful bacteria. Ann Rodney of the EPA and Jody Connor of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) will take part in a public forum Thursday, Aug. 12, from 6-8 p.m. at the Wentworth Marina in New Castle. The event is free and will give area boaters an opportunity to learn more about the no-discharge proposal and how it would impact their activities. The event is being convened by NH Sea Grant, the NH Estuaries Project, the Wentworth Marina, the Great Bay Coast Watch and UNH Cooperative Extension.
