Rising Tide #65 – Oysters in a Troubled Bay

In this episode we have a hopeful but challenging talk with Linda Hunter, founder and director of the Wild Oyster Project that’s working to restore San Francisco Bay’s once abundant oyster reefs.

Linda tells us why oysters are “working class heroes” keeping estuary ecosystems healthy.  We discuss the major fish-killing Algal Bloom now occurring in the bay and how her oysters are faring, plus discuss the community volunteers working to restore SF bay oysters.
