Very cool research being done by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
on oyster larvae feeding methods. The effects of ocean acidification are wide reaching.

High-speed imaging has helped scientists better understand how baby oysters feed, but what they’ve found could be a problem for future oyster populations.

Strong NE winds coming = move the barge to the inner harbor. Tricky in calm winds, spicy with today’s gusts to 25

Massachusetts is famous for our Eastern oysters—but do you know their history in New England?

Nutrient-dense, briny, and delicious, oysters have sustained coastal communities for generations. Wild populations supported a robust fishery through the early 20th century until overharvest, coastal development, and changing environmental conditions drove widespread decline.

Today, oyster aquaculture is a key part of our blue economy, and restoration efforts are helping to bring wild oyster beds back to our coastal waters.
