The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department announced on October 29 that it will close a total of 20 acres of Great Bay, near Durham in Strafford County, New Hampshire, to shellfish harvest to continue oyster reef restoration work. The closure area comprises two restoration sites: 5 acres near Woodman Point and 15 acres near Nannie Island. The closure runs from Sunday, November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2031, a period of five years.
