Like #oysters, scallops were a big commercial product in N FL but have succumbed to many of the same factors
Thanks @UF_IFAS@MyFWC for letting me help #SaveTheScallops
Excited to see some photos I took of a local oyster farmer's farm featured in the new issue of 850 Magazine! Oysters and the aquaculture industry in Florida are something I'm passionate about photographing, so flip through and check it out if you're in a book store in the future!
Look at the beautiful packaging from our friends at https://t.co/5MB1fWDJKl out of Maine! 😍
The sea bag - made from sails ⛵ - is perfect!
🦪No grit, no pearl🦪
Today is National Oyster Day! Here are some photos I got the chance to take when I went out into Oyster Bay with a local oyster farmer up here in North Florida! This is near Shell Point, about 50 minutes from Tallahassee. A thread: (1/5)
I asked a restaurant near Tallahassee what they do with their oyster shells that are needed for Apalachicola Bay restoration. "We bury them in a hole out back," the manager told me.
Writer Jess Graves grew up in Florida, but it took an oyster education in landlocked Atlanta to send her back to her roots. Join Jess on a journey along Highway 98 as she considers the old ways of Apalachicola Bay’s oyster farmers. https://t.co/p8RodbK3fW
