Oyster Farmers

with Diane & Dave Carlson, of Ebbwater Sea Farm

Diane & Dave Carlson back by popular demand will again enlighten us with
their talk and power point demonstration how in 1995, they applied for and
secured a grant to raise shellfish on Cape Cod Bay in Brewster. It was to be
another extension of their marine interests and perhaps a means to earn an
income in retirement. Eighteen years later, having undergone many
experiences and changes to their growing system they have come to a balance.
We will learn about the challenges of growing shellfish and how it varies
from day to day and year to year. We will hear about the excitement of
trying and tweaking new growing methods, educating the many visitors who
come to their site, and appreciate the beauty of their "work place" all
reasons why they enjoy working at their Ebbwater Sea Farm; growing 'Brewster
oysters'.

Diane taught elementary school for over 35 years and has always lived around
and had a fondness for the ocean. Fishing, swimming, sailing, and diving
have been seasonal favorite pastimes over the years. Now she can proudly add
aquaculture pursuits to her enchantment with salt water bodies.

Fee $5
