Cold day for some #diving. Checking that all the oyster cages we sank for the winter landed right side up. We always find a few that landed with oysters into the mud. Flipping them over under water is a challenge to say the least

Keeping the winter farm prep rolling, work floats are out! We power our equipment on this float with solar + batteries #Electrifyeverything

Oysters have been moved to the winter site, time to sink them to protect from ice and winter storms. We’ll bring them back up in April.

Every year some of our oyster cages make a journey to their overwintering location. Here’s a cage eye view of this annual trip. Beautiful calm day with cold temps. We’ll sink these for the winter before the end of the week

Hey Bluesky! I’m an oyster and kelp farmer in Maine. I haven’t seen much aquaculture content here yet, so here’s a quick video of seeding my kelp farm recently. Seed line is densely covered in tiny kelp sporophytes. By May they will grow 6-8 feet long!
