Oyster Farming Gets a Sustainable Makeover with 99% Plastic-Free Methods

In a remarkable blend of tradition and innovation, North Haven Oyster Company is leading the charge in sustainable oyster farming. Founder Adam Campbell has revolutionized his practice by implementing a method that’s 99% plastic-free. This isn’t just a small step; it’s a leap towards making the aquaculture industry more eco-friendly.The Innovative ApproachAdam farms his oysters on either side of a porous dam, harnessing the natural environment to enhance his harvest. He begins by nurturing the oyster seeds in an upweller—floating boxes with water gently pumped past the baby oysters, facilitating their growth. Unlike traditional farming methods that rely heavily on plastic bags and floats, Adam seeks alternatives.A Shift Towards Cedar CratesDetermined to find a solution, Adam participated in a grant program aimed at innovation within the aquaculture sector. The outcome was his cedar crate, modeled after traditional wooden lobster crates but tailored for oyster farming. This innovation not only reduces plastic use but also contributes to environmental sustainability.
