Welcome to our collection of links to a wide variety of publications on shellfish, aquaculture, and related topics.

In January 2012, the University of Connecticut Center for Land Use Education and Research released the Connecticut Shellfisheries Mapping Atlas (version 3.0).  Developed in collaboration with the Conn. Sea Grant Extension Program and the Conn. Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Aquaculture, this interactive online map is designed to help Connecticut's shellfish industry and resource managers with planning and management of shellfisheries activity, including commercial and recreational harvesting, as well as aquaculture.
