The Club's Oyster Project
from Ahoy! April 2023
by Koko Mueller
I have learned a lot about biodiversity and other things to do with the ocean though the yacht Club’s oyster project. I think it is a special opportunity to be able to now observe and document our very own oyster chains. This project is interesting and will help encourage and promote club members of all ages to learn more about the ocean and other creatures. It can also help people realize the beauty in the ocean bio community and the need to protect it.
Something interesting that I learned was how much dirty water a single oyster can filtrate per hour. It was very shocking and amazing to watch. I didn’t know that oysters had that big of an impact on the planet.

My favorite part about the recent oyster project was drilling the oyster shells. It was fun being able to use the drills. I hope that we get good results from the oyster chains and have a chance to look at other different creatures.
