Visited the VIMS Acuff Center for Aquaculture & @OSH_Inc to learn about oysters 🦪 today! Shout out to my @vaseagrant mentor @JvS_VT for letting me tag along w/ the @VT_VSAREC folks! Was happy to see @Sam_Glover2 who is now R&D manager & showed us around @OSH_Inc 💙

Have empty oyster shells left after eating oysters? Don't throw them in the trash—they can be re-used for #oyster restoration! You can drop off empty shells at one of the @ChesapeakeBay shell #recycling stations in Virginia: bit.ly/3Mmp1kN

@vaseagrant @VT_VSAREC @VIMS_News We are so thankful for the Fisheries Resource Grant Program that @vaseagrant operates that allows this and work like it to happen!!!

Just like fish tanks, #oyster hatcheries must filter toxins out of the water. Poor water quality limits #aquaculture, so researchers at @VT_VSAREC and @VIMS_News designed a system to clean and reuse hatchery water: bit.ly/3xs47Zx #NationalOysterDay

The success of oyster hatcheries depends on good water quality each year. Poor water quality limits #aquaculture, so VASG researchers at @VT_VSAREC are testing a system to clean and reuse hatchery water.
