October was National Seafood month. We hope you got to claw your way through a boatload of fresh VA or NC seafood. If not, there’s still plenty around. Time to fall back into some. . . #LynnhavenRiver #crabs #bluecrab #seafood #waterman #harvester #CommercialFishing #SupportItOrImportIt #VaSeafood NCSeafood @oldbay_seasoning #crabmeat #CrabPicking #CrabFeast
Oysters filter up to 50 gallons of the water they live in each day. While doing this they ingest algae, nutrients, fertilizer in the water and as they digest it the oyster food becomes more stable and usable by other marine plants and animals when they expel it as waste. Quite simply: oyster poop is good for the estuary and it’s bottom of the food chain inhabitants. As we harvest, tumble, polish and sort the oysters we knock off bits of their shell which is mainly calcium carbonate and a base on the acidic PH scale. This work then reduces ocean acidification by introducing this acid and nitrogen fighting compound from their shells. Oysters are good for the environment and good for local business. Eat an oyster and support local efforts to improve the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries like the Lynnhaven River. . . . #LynnhavenRiver #oysters #aquaculture #oysterLife #OysterLove #AquaHarvest #SeaToTable
