Did you know that this summer baby oysters are growing in a new upweller (an oyster hatchery) on the Bass River at Packet Landing? Did you know that Yarmouth restaurants will be recycling oyster shells this summer to help them grow in the future?

Learn about this new project from Mass Oyster Project, a collaboration between Yarmouth Division of Natural Resources, Yarmouth Department of Public Works, ARC Hatchery and Friends of Bass River.

We will watch a short film called The Oyster Revival, a documentary about oysters and the efforts to restore balance to our coastlines, answer questions and then walk over to see the upweller at Packet Landing!

Free and open to the public, no need to register. The walk to Packet's Landing is about one quarter mile (5-10 minutes) over flat terrain on side streets. If you cannot attend this event, it will be repeated on August 13.
