Ocean State Fisheries, Inc is a retail seafood market and wholesale processing station located in Wickford Village, North Kingstown, Rhode Island. For over 70 years, local fishermen have docked their boats and sold their catch directly to Ocean State Fisheries. The business sources about 80 percent of its seafood from nearby ports and employs approximately 10 people.
Ocean State Fisheries has faced challenges due to severe storms and rising sea levels. The owner, Pete Chevalier, has taken measures to strengthen and elevate the property to withstand storm surges. While concerned about climate change and sea-level rise, Chevalier believes estimates of sea-level rise may be overblown and hopes that his children and grandchildren will not face significant issues in the near future.
