Marblehead Shark Club will be building and maintaining an Oyster Upweller in Marblehead with the direction and support of Mass Oyster Project.
The upweller will be located on the harbor at Front Street, thanks to the generous donation of location and support of Marblehead Boatyard Assoc.
The project based learning opportunity is funded by The Friends of Marblehead Public Schools. We will start with 60,000 spat (baby oysters) in June, and expect to re-introduce dime size maturing oysters into the wild in Mass Bay.
This video explains the impacts provided by restoring the oyster populations through out our Bay.
A heart felt thank you to all involved! :)
