The shellfish constable training program is offered periodically for certification as detailed in the Massachusetts General Laws  Ch 130 s 98:

A person having successfully completed the shellfish wardens training course at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy as certified by said academy, shall be considered qualified by training and experience in the field of shellfishery management and shall be eligible for appointment as a shellfish constable or deputy shellfish constable.

While plans are not in place to offer the curriculum as has been done previously (it is typically offered every three years with the most recent being 2019) and circumstances are considerably different with respect to gatherings and in person education we will maintain a list of interested parties through this page.
