Home-made lantern nets |
To my continued frustration, the red tide is sticking around. In the meantime, I've been building and testing gear for my SARE research project. My littleneck clams arrived a full month early. I had to scramble to put together nursery bags to accommodate the 80,000 tiny, tiny, (tiny), seeds. The gear is looking nice though, and the seed has already put-on good growth in the last few weeks.
The oysters are growing incredibly fast. I am quickly running short on room while I'm waiting for the tide to lift and the market to open up again. I am getting very eager to sell some oysters.
