 Learn about oyster aquaculture and habitat restoration efforts in Georgia!  This program will begin on land with a guided tour of Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant’s Shellfish Research Lab, where you will witness the bustling process of spawning and growing oyster seed for local farmers.  Next, guests will travel by boat with researchers from the Shellfish Lab and marine educators from the UGA Aquarium to learn about oyster farms in the Bull River mariculture zone as well as see oyster reef restoration sites in the area.  Along the way, experts will share insights into the vital role oyster reefs play in improving water quality, providing habitat, and mitigating coastal erosion.    

Registration is required and includes admission to the UGA  Aquarium.  Children ages 10 and up are welcome but must be accompanied by a registered adult.
