Spat Pickup Fall 2008
FALL 2008
If you did not pick up your spat on August 28, you can pick up spat at any of the CBF oyster pickup days as shown on their web site or in their e-mail to you. If you pick up from CBF, please let them know you are from POWeR (Steve Gauss will usually be there).
If you still have your oysters from the 2007-2008 season, you can also return them at that time.
If you cannot make any of these events, please contact Steve Gauss at to make other arrangements. We want you to get your oysters!

Not yet an oyster gardener?
Here's the 2008 workshop schedule and information on how to become a gardener. Workshops start in September and run through October (due to the availability of spat). For information about becoming an oyster gardener in the 2008 season, contact Stephanie Reynolds at CBF at sreynolds@cbf.org

OThe Shady Side Peninsula Association, is the association of citizens' groups and communities on the Shady Side Peninsula

Citizens in the West River community are establishing individual oyster gardens with guidance from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to provide new one-year old oysters to the santuaries in the coming years.
