On the Water —The good ole days: A panel discussion on how shellfish conservation methods have saved Vineyard waters over the last 50 years

September 7, 2023 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

A panel discussion on how shellfish conservation methods have saved Vineyard waters over the last 50 years

Learn how the Martha’s Vineyard Shellfish Group has been rearing baby bivalves for decades to enhance shellfish resources in Vineyard waters. Reminisce with locals–the Marine Biologists, harvesters and agents who pushed for water conservation in the building boom of the 80s and 90s. Discuss the importance of history and culture when it comes to how we harvest shellfish today in order to continue family traditions and the diverse fishing industry of Martha’s Vineyard. 

No registration required.
