ReClam the Bay, a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing the filter feeder shellfish to clean the waters of Barnegat Bay and to increase awareness of bay ecology through public education, hosts a number of member field trips. On Wednesday, June 23, they traveled to the Rutgers Aquaculture Innovation Center in Cape May.

SPECIAL BLENDS: Different shellfish require different blends of algae for optimum growth. Rutgers has developed its own proprietary blends.

The AIC is dedicated to supplying commercial aquaculture with seed oysters and to shellfish research.
