Good for the marsh
We grow off-bottom in floating cages in the Rowley River, a method that works with the estuary instead of against it.
Floating cages
Off the bottom, in clean tidal water that keeps the oysters fed.
Up to 50 gallons a day
One oyster can filter that much water, taking out extra nutrients.
Room for wildlife
Oyster cages and reefs give shelter to small fish and crabs.
