Oyster Gardening Season 2023

Healthy Harbor
Written By Marina McCaney | Marketing Manager

Here’s to another successful season of oyster gardening in the harbor!

We are thrilled to say that over the past nine months, our Healthy Harbor team planted and cared for 320 cages full of spat (baby oysters) in the Baltimore Harbor- but we didn’t do it alone. Over 100 enthusiastic volunteers helped us throughout the season from Baltimore City and across the state.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to our corporate sponsors for this program: Brown Advisory, Franklin Templeton, Constellation, BGE, T.Rowe Price, Morgan Stanley, RK&K, WRA.

With their help and the help of our wonderful volunteers, we’ve planted 1,180,036 spat in the harbor since 2013.
