Second Maintenance Day

Last Saturday was our second maintenance day. We pulled up the baskets and cleaned them as well as the grow-out bags. The oysters have already doubled their original size, and it has only been a month! I had some great help from fellows scouts and family. I am so grateful for all of the help and support thus far. Stay tuned for more!

Maintenance Day Saturday

Sent out by Cam earlier this evening via email: Hi everybody. I just wanted to remind you that the second oyster maintenance day is this Saturday from 9 am to roughly 10:30 am. We will be cleaning the grow-out bags and letting the oysters "sun" themselves for awhile. We will meet at425 Riverside Dr. like we did for the build day. Wear clothes that you do not mind getting wet and/or dirty and closed-toed shoes! Sun-block is also highly recommended. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you so much!

Visiting My 24,000 Friends

Today was a very nice day out on the water for checking on the oysters. It was awesome riding out in the canoe to check on their progress and I am very thankful for the assistance of my father. The oysters have grown noticeably the last two weeks and will be ready to be in the cages by themselves before we know it. The next maintenance day is May 17th at 425 Riverside Dr. at 9:00 am. We will actually pull the floats and let the oysters "sun" for a while which helps to control the growth of harmful organisms that can affect the growth of the oysters. Please feel free to come out and help, and stay tuned for more details!
