Marblehead Upweller

In 2018, we partnered with the Marblehead Charter School Shark Club to set up an upweller. It’s been going strong since then, and has seeded almost 120,000 oysters to sites around the North Shore.

Marblehead Shark Club is a group of students interested in marine science. The students help with the maintenance and operation of the upweller.

Current state regulations prohibit the release of oysters in restricted waters. Prior to release, we work with the Division of Marine Fisheries and the town's shellfish warden or constable to select appropriate release sites.
