USM Marine Aquaculture Center’s oyster farming boosts reef restoration efforts
SUMMARY: The University of Southern Mississippi's Marine Education Center is expanding due to its significant contributions to oyster production for both commercial and restoration purposes. With rising seafood demand and declining supply, institutions like this play a vital role. The center manages the full life cycle of oysters, from broodstock to larvae, nurturing them into dense clusters known as oyster reefs. Due to constant supply challenges, including natural disasters and oil spills, aquaculture has become essential. The center also trains industry professionals and students, exemplified by Alicia Armstead from Tuskegee University, who gains valuable experience in marine farming.
The demand for seafood is rising and over the years the supply has declined, leading institutions such as USM to help in ways many wouldn't imagine.
