Oyster Restoration with OGRE

We went out to work with the Oyster Gardening for Restoration and Enhancement (OGRE) program to collect, sort, document, transport, and place oysters for restoration. Additional photos from the day can be found on the Oystertecture Flickr site and more information about the OGRE program can be found at http://ceed.rwu.edu/ogre.html.

Site Investigation

Frank and I went out to Buttonwoods Cove and Brushneck Cove in Warwick for site reconnaissance. We were able to get a good look at the possible location for a community supported aquaculture oyster farm as well as potential pollution sources. Check out the Oystertecture Flickr page for more photos.
