Last Saturday was our fifth maintenance day for the WeGrO project. We pulled out the baskets and scraped the barnacles and vegetation off of the baskets and let the oysters sun themselves for a while. The oysters are not quite big enough to be in the cages by themselves, but they are well on their way. We hope to remove them from their bags in two more weeks. Our next maintenance day is Thursday, June 26th at the usual location. I had to move it because I have a conflict next weekend. I thank you for your continued support and help. Stay tuned for more!

8 Weeks and Counting...

Hi everyone. I apologize that I haven't blogged in a while. But I just wanted to give a quick update on how the oysters are doing. Last Saturday, June 1st,  we had our third maintenance day where we paddled out in kayaks and canoes and checked on the oysters. As of right now they are between the size of a quarter and a half dollar coin and are almost ready to leave the grow-out bags. This Saturday, June 14th,  is our fourth maintenance day and we will be taking the oysters out of the bags. I strongly encourage people to come out and watch, help, and/or visit to see how big the oysters have gotten. We will meet in front of 425 Riverside Dr. Portsmouth, VA 23707 at 1:00 pm. Stay tuned for more!
