Show Notes
Oyster farmers along the eastern seaboard faced severe challenges this winter due to thick sea ice, which damaged gear and killed oysters. Despite the setbacks, some farmers like Skip Bennett at Island Creek Oysters managed to harvest and sell double their usual amount. However, others like Seth Garfield on Cuttyhunk Island struggled with access issues. The deep freeze also had a positive impact by likely eliminating invasive green crabs that prey on young oysters, aiding recovery. Damage assessments are still ongoing.
