UPDATE 5/12/21
After consultation with the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH), and due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the health risks associated with cruise ships, RIDEM’s policy is as follows: Any cruise ship who seeks to dock at and/or disembark passengers or crew at any state facility, dock, or pier must comply with the current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance and with any applicable municipal orders, restrictions or policies.

DEM is spearheading initiatives to support RI's commercial fishing and seafood industry, as well as farmers and local food producers during the COVID-19 Coronavirus crisis by helping connect consumers with retailers of local food.
Seafood markets provide important opportunities for consumers to buy direct and commercial lobstermen offer fresh, dockside sales.
Find local food at farmers markets, restaurants, and other retailers, as well as resources to help our local food industry.
