Oyster Gardening
Have you ever thought of becoming an oyster gardener for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation? Don't have a home on the watefront....or you live to far up the river for the CBF to accept oysters?....Not a problem. We have had the gracious support and encouragement of Haven Harbour Marina. We grow our oysters behind the Deborah Gail, right in the slip.
Jerry and I have been oyster gardeners for several years. Every September we drive to St. Michaels or Annapolis and pick up our spat...which look like tiny dishes on old shells. Then we put them in cages that we made at our orientation several years ago, and suspend them from the dock, behind our boat. We check on them occasionally during the winter, but there is not much to actually do. In June, we return them, so they can go out on a reef and multiply. In any given year, we have returned from 1200-3000 oysters. We have even gone out on special boats with CBF to deposit the new oysters on a reef in the Severn.
We have found it fun, easy...and a way to pay back the Bay. CBF is always looking for more gardeners, so we hope more of our fellow slipholders at Haven will become participants. The information you need to sign up...as a new gardener is at http://www.cbf.org/page.aspx?pid=394. If you have cages and already took the training in the past....sign up at http://www.cbf.org/page.aspx?pid=395.
