The affected areas of Wednesday's temporary shellfishing closure will re-open to shellfishing on Saturday at 7 a.m. according to the Division of Marine Fisheries.

All shellfishing within Onset Harbor, Buttermilk Bay, Sunset Cove, Agawam Beach, East River, Broad Cove, Fisherman's Cove and Butlers Cove had been closed to shellfishing due to the fuel tanker accident that took place in Bourne Tuesday evening, according to Harbormaster Garry Buckminster.

The Broadmarsh River and Millers Cove rainfall management areas will remain closed due to the rain amounts received.

The status of the rainfall management areas is available by calling (508) 291-3100 ext. 3184.
