Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County (CCESC) Marine Program Tour - April 14th, 2023

FoBB board members Howard Read, Katia Read, Peter Schulte and Thomas Schultz were led on a tour of Cornell Cooperative’s shellfish operations in Southold. The team discussed deploying SOS (Spat-On-Shell) in Bellport Bay with Shellfish Aquaculture Educator Joshua Slaughter and Aquaculture Specialist Greg Rivera. We were given a close look at how SOS is cultivated and utilized, which culminated in FoBB deploying a total of 500,000 juvenile oysters in July and September of this year.
