This tour has participants “experiencing oysters” in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To learn what we will do on this tour, you’ll need to read this blog https://thenaturebus.com/experience-oysters/(For clarification, we will go to the VIMS at Gloucester Pt and to Big Island Aquaculture this time – same article; different oyster farm).
Your guide, James Abbott, will give you an oyster education and history on our ride to the Acuff Center for Aquaculture at VIMS (Virginia Institute of Marine Science) in Gloucester Point. Researchers there will show you the inner workings of the hatchery operation and how they are trying to save oyster of the Chesapeake Bay. We will then continue on to Big Island Aquaculture Farm, where you will see a working oyster farm and sample some of their incredible oysters.
