Learn All About Oyster Gardening

The Delaware Center for Inland Bays Oyster Gardening program is a restoration project that employs waterfront property owners to raise small amounts of oysters in the waters that surround their docks and bulkheads. The Center provides juvenile oysters and gear to raise them; the “gardeners” provide basic husbandry and grow them for about one year, when they will then be used in restoration projects. Bayside will be a host for the oyster gardening program, and you will have the opportunity to watch the Delaware Center for Inland Bays launch the juvenile oysters at The Point and learn more about the benefits of this important project in our waters.
