Key Stages of Team Oysters 

  1. Write literature review and synthesize a methodology 

  2.  In the Lab testing of Electrolysis Mineral Accretion and spat settlement. 

  3. In the Field testing of Electrolysis Mineral Accretion and spat settlement. 

  4. Potential Impact: experimenting with the broader application of artificial reef structures in the Bay​

Fall 2016 - Lit review 

​

Spring 2017-  Methodolgy

 

Summer 2017 - experiments in lab and in the field

 

Spring/Summer 2018 in the field experimenting.

Oysters most successfully recruit to calcium carbonate, the naturally occurring substrate of oyster shells. When mineral accretion technology is applied to metal structures, production of calcium carbonate can be artificially induced. 

We will design structures using mineral accretion technology spat settlement, recruitment, and growth. Our long term goal is to implement these structures in the Bay to help support the growth of oyster populations.
