As participants in the Billion Oyster Project, BNS fourth graders are responsible for checking on our oysters.
 |
| Ta!Da! Our oyster cage is still there! |
The sifter was full of tiny shrimp that were hanging around our oyster trap.
 |
| Counting and massing the oysters is an important protocol. |
 |
| An oyster pack...one of 10. |
 |
| Who knew? Cleaning the oyster trap was a very desirable job. |
 |
| These students are testing the water quality. |
 |
| Nitrites and nitrates and pH in healthy range! |
 |
| Dissolved oxygen is about 8 ppm. Pretty good! |
If our data is correct, it looks as if 5 of our 45 oysters were lost. Hoping that spring brings new life and growth.

Great report and great photos! The Valentino oysters are lucky to have such good stewards!
