Narragansett Bay is the focal point for Rhode Island's recreational and commercial fisheries. Much of the saltwater sport fishing in Rhode Island occurs in Narragansett Bay. The offshore commercial fisheries are also intimately tied to Narragansett Bay because juvenile fish are produced in the bay, and commercial fishermen land most of their catch at Point Judith, on the southwestern edge of the bay. Galilee, Narragansett, Plum Point, Sakonnet, Warren, Newport, and other numerous towns that surround Narragansett Bay benefit from the fishing industry. The juvenile life stages of the most important estuarine-dependent commercial species (American lobster, hard clam, and winter flounder) depend on the fringing wetlands of Narragansett Bay for nursery areas. Bluefish, an important recreational species, depends on wetlands for the small fish upon which it feeds in coastal bays and adjacent rivers. Scientists believe that loss of wetland habitat is partly to blame for the reduction in bluefish populations along the Atlantic coast that has occurred over the last ten years.
