Our portion of the hoped for 1 billion oysters is quite small...around 45 of them. But they are paving the way for more. Our data will be used to determine if our site is a good one to re-establish these water filtering, reef habitat building, flood preventing species. So we were told by John and Ella, two BOP associates.
 |
| They need eco-sausages around here to absorb the stormwater. |

The fish we found was a blackfish: (Tautoga onitis)

| Counting and measuring oysters. |
 |
| Looks like we didn't lose any oysters and each string gained mass. |
 |
| Robert, BNS dad, and scientist helped kids measure water quality |
After measuring kids sieved the water surrounding the cage.
We found anemones, barnacles, newly forming mussels, and amphipods.
 |
| Found evidence of oysters spawning. Excited to be "oyster uncles." |
