Dive into the world of oyster aquaculture with the Oyster Farm Pioneer badge. In collaboration with Nauti Sisters Sea Farm, you'll explore a working sea farm in Maine through immersive videos that follow a day in the life of real oyster farmers. From sunrise boat rides to sorting and harvesting, you'll see how oysters are grown and why they matter. A virtual farm tour brings the whole process to life while highlighting the science behind it.
Then it’s your turn to get hands-on. Learn how oysters clean the water through filter feeding and why they’re key to healthy oceans. You’ll design your own oyster farm and think through what makes it sustainable and impactful. This badge is your chance to explore how aquaculture connects people, food, and the future of our coasts.
