Meanwhile in Maryland 🇺🇸 Together with our partner, Blue Oyster Environmental, we’ve been testing locally produced Mother Reef bricks—and we’re thrilled to report that the initial settlement and survival results in US waters are looking great! 🦪 #OysterRestoration #ChesapeakeBay #nativeoyster
Blue Oyster Environmental has partnered with Oyster Heaven to test their clay based substrate for effectiveness in setting and survival of the eastern oyster (crassostrea virginica). While they have had success in the Netherlands and the UK, this is the first time it’s been tested with US oysters and our ambient water conditions (so far so good!)
