oyster farms
Marine bivalve operations
Oyster farms are aquaculture operations where oysters are cultivated for food or pearls.
Unlike wild harvesting, farming involves controlled breeding and growing in designated coastal waters, often using cages, racks, or bags suspended in the water column.
The oyster farms in Chesapeake Bay have helped restore the local ecosystem.
