Description: |
Aquaculture in The Great South Bay - The Fall and Rise of The Blue Point Oyster - Modern Shellfish Farming Techniques Educational Seminar at the Islip Public Library in Islip, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
On Wednesday, May 6, 2015 the Historical Society of Islip Hamlet will host Matt Welling and his presentation on "Aquaculture in the Great South Bay: The fall and rise of the Blue Point Oyster". Having lived all over the world sailing in the America's Cup, Matt and his wife moved back to Long Island and started Lucky 13 Oysters. They grow oysters, hard clams and, this year, will harvest scallops. Matt will be talking about his aquaculture activities on the Great South Bay and discuss the rich history of the Blue Point Oyster on the bay and all that's involved with modern shellfish farming techniques. Shellfish farming, it is believed, will help restore our bay's ecosystem to its once world famous status. The program will be held at the Islip Public Library, 71 Monell Ave., Islip from 7-9 pm. and is free and open to the public. For more info, 631-245-0675, www.isliphamlethistory.org.
