Dr. Bill Walton on Oysters - Free Lecture

Learn about Oysters and Shellfish Aquaculture with Bill Walton at our free lecture series!

“There are so few activities that promise benefits for the environment, the economy, and our culture the way that shellfish aquaculture does when practiced responsibly and sustainably,” he says. “Shellfish, whether wild or raised by growers, help improve water quality and may create habitat for all sorts of marine life. In terms of the economy, shellfish farming is an incredibly valuable industry that supports and creates jobs in our rural coastal communities. And culturally, it’s is a modern twist on an historical industry—one that still allows young women and men to continue their families’ traditions of living along and working in our coastal waters.”
