Some hands-on science this week at the Newburyport Upweller! 🦪 Our staff spent time measuring oysters and recording data to track how they're growing in the Merrimack River.

Good news — they're doing great, thanks in large part to the river's nutrient-rich waters. All this data helps us monitor their progress before these oysters are planted as part of our ongoing oyster restoration program.

None of this would be possible without the City of Newburyport, who has been an incredible partner and supporter of this program from the start. Thank you for helping us protect our local waterways! 💙

We're honored to be featured in Food & Wine as part of the conversation around sustainability on Cape Cod!

The article highlights our partnership with Wequassett Resort and Golf Club, where we're working to restore oyster habitat in Pleasant Bay by planting 25,000 oysters this year. These oysters will help improve water quality by naturally filtering the water and removing excess nitrogen, supporting healthier coastal ecosystems for years to come.

It's exciting to see more resorts, restaurants, and community partners embracing environmental stewardship and investing in the future of Cape Cod.

Thank you to Food & Wine for helping share the story of how oyster restoration is making a difference.
