      I wanted to learn how to help a rare species of oysters here in Louisiana grow in population. It should be fun once I learn what it takes to get started.

    Back before 2004 we could tong close into shor, boats were small and gear was rough, we'd tong the beds but leave enough, But now there's no oyster left because-disease and pollution killed all there was, in 2012 we could see it coming then--- NO MORE OYSTERS NO OYSTER MEN

    Oyster farming has devestated softshell clamming in rivers in Maine. Its killing this natural resource and destroy many clam diggers and there families.

    • @2RckOyster
      @2RckOyster ปีที่แล้ว

      We have separate areas for that here in Massachusetts. The area has to be free of commercial quanties of shellfish before the lease is given (us clammers know clam productive areas and those that are not). In fact here in duxbury, once i began to work this bottom with oysters, other shellfish began to settle in the area. The sediment transformed into suitable so they began to flourish.
