The longer answer: I am trying to improve bay health, and help to reestablish a once thriving oyster population in the San Francisco Bay. Oysters do amazing things for our waters (like clean them), and humans have done a good job at ruining the natural oyster habitat in the bay over the past century or so. WHY do it? The SF Bay Oystertecture Project is a product of my training in landscape archite
cture (steward of the land, service to the public) and being raised at the NJ shore. It's also heavily influenced by my love of fishing. I want to eat the fish that I catch in the Bay without worry. Maybe someday this will be possible. WHERE is the SF Bay Oystertecture Project located? There is an Oyster Basket in the Richmond Marina, and an oyster float in OCSC's docks in the Berkeley Marina. HOW can I participate? Message me! Do you have a dock slip? If so, you might be eligible for an oyster basket. Do you have a LARGE dock slip? You might be eligible for an oyster float! THANKS. This project would not be possible without the help of the following organizations and people:
Thanks to my marketing manager and general encourager, Ashley Cruz
Thanks to The Watershed Project for lending me equipment (oyster float) and giving me advice
Thanks to Anthony Sandburg at OCSC for letting me use some water space, and being open to the project. Thanks to Cyd Ortzow for helping me with construction
Thanks to Blind Tiger in Oakland for saving me oyster shells. go get a drink! and to Lisa Dombroski for hooking me up with the Blind Tiger
