Happy Earth Day! While we are thankful for how delicious oysters are, we are even more thankful for how much good they do for the Earth.

Oysters are well known for their ability to filter the water they live in, but how much water they filter is truly remarkable. A single adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day. When you imagine the scale of most oyster farms containing hundreds of thousands of oysters, a single farm can be responsible for filtering millions of gallons of water a day. This filtration, in large part, removes excess nitrogen and phosphorous from the water, making the surrounding habitat more hospitable for other species. We have already observed positive impacts in our leased waters, including increased biodiversity of fish, crustaceans, invertebrates, and proliferation of eel grass.

Thank you to all of the oyster lovers out there, together we are promoting a sustainable industry that benefits our oceans and ultimately our Earth. Cheers🦪

Ol’ blue eyes getting ready to feed. Farmed shellfish feed on naturally occurring algae and require no input except for the shellfish themself. This is one of the many reasons that farmed shellfish are the most sustainable source of protein. Go enjoy some at your local raw bar this weekend! #aquidneckcups #newportri #sustainable #aquaculture #rifoodie #localfishfordinner ...

Join us tomorrow for an evening filled with oysters, wine, and wonderful conversation with our friends over at @cleanoceanaccess, featuring a special talk by local commercial fisherman Jason Jarvis. Limited tickets available. We hope to see you there!
