Last week, interns from the Masonville Cove Environmental Education Center and the @NatlAquarium had an excellent time exploring the SOPS. These potential aquaculturists witnessed firsthand how this solar powered platform produces oysters for market or restoration.

Yesterday Solar Oysters & @chesapeakebay placed 356,600 spat-on-shell oysters near Fort Carroll as part of the CBF’s Oyster Gardening program. These oysters were grown on our SOPS and will now grow further in Baltimore Harbor, helping to replenish the native oyster population.

Check out this biofouling relief on SOPS! 1st photo shows cages that have not been rotating while the 2nd photo shows cages that have. By moving cages through the water column and exposing them to air, there is a drastic reduction in biofouling. #SOPS #biofoul #Solaroysters

Yesterday was World Ocean Day! Protecting our oceans is vital, as is protecting our rivers, bays, and estuaries as they feed into our oceans.

Our SOPS improves water quality & increases the population of oyster and other shellfish in these smaller bodies of water.

Everyone knows that an oyster filters up to 50 gallons of water per day. But what if shellfish aren’t there to do this job?
