From Farm To Reef: Oyster Aquaculture And Restoration
Event details
Join us for a morning of exploration on Georgia’s oyster aquaculture efforts! The morning begins with a guided tour of the UGA Shellfish Research Lab, where you will witness the bustling process of spawning and growing oyster seed for local farmers. Next, travel by boat with researchers from the UGA Shellfish Research Lab and marine educators from the UGA Aquarium to learn about oyster farms in the Bull River mariculture zone and oyster reef restoration. Along the way, experts will share insights into the vital role oyster reefs play in improving water quality, providing habitat, and mitigating coastal erosion. Registration is required and includes admission to the UGA Aquarium. Children ages 10 and up are welcome but must be accompanied by a registered adult. *October is National Seafood Month, and we’re providing seafood programming for a variety of audiences all month long!
