ReClam the Bay

April 30, 2025: Deb & John Meiman, ReClam The Bay Educational Outreach Committee members showed Environmental Science, Marine Science, and Honors Ecology classes how to care for oysters and clams.  Each class was given 12 oysters and procedures were demonstrated for tank care, algae feeding, and measurement of oysters with digital calipers.   Students also practiced how to determine water salinity using a refractometer

Before & After: Our classroom oysters filter their algae out of the water!

Honors & Advanced Ecology students measure their clams over a 6 week period
