An update on our summer program.

Our upweller program is up and running and 260,000 of our little baby oysters are safe, growing, healthy and will be ready to release in Massachusetts estuaries this fall.   

If you believe in our cause, please consider making a donation today to ensure that our programs continue to operate so we can  support the flourishing population of oysters we propagate in our upwellers. As of today we have placed over 1 million oysters back into Massachusetts waters. As an all volunteer run organization your help is crucial to our success.

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and $.90 of every dollar goes directly to our programs.

Stay-At-Home Oyster Fest

  

TIMES ARE TOUGH

 

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to sweep the globe, it gets harder and harder to keep a routine, explore new passions and hobbies, and keep a positive mindset.

 

Trust us, we get it.

 

In these uncertain economic times, everyone is struggling. Especially the nonprofit industry. So, we need your help.

 

We need your help to be able to continue and improve our upweller programs in Gloucester, Marblehead, Hyannis, and Nantucket.

 

Amidst all of this chaos, we sincerely appreciate your support and can only hope that it continues.

 

Instead of our normal, busy summer even schedule, we are doing this virtual Stay-At-Home Oyster Fest as our sole fundraiser. In addition to purchasing shirts, we highly encourage you to donate to our organization through the link below:
