Given the importance of the Rhode Island commercial summer flounder (fluke) fishery and its capacity to provide long-term, sustainable harvest opportunities, the University of Rhode Island, in collaboration with the RI Department of Environmental Management and the RI commercial fishing community, is holding a forum to consider options for managing the fishery.

This Web site provides information about the agenda, direction and purpose of the Fluke Symposium. It will also serve as a resource to store, and make available to others, information about the Rhode Island commercial summer flounder fishery and related issues as provided.
