The Consortium recently launched a Shellfish Aquaculture Toolkit to offer products and resources to current shellfish growers and people who are interested in entering the industry.
The kit includes the 32-page South Carolina Aquaculture Permitting Guide, facts sheets about the mariculture seed purchase process and financial resources, a cage flipping economics tool, an oyster farming budget tool, and a link to the S.C. Department of Natural Resources’ shellfish harvesting locations and regulations.
To learn more, visit the Consortium’s Toolkit webpage or contact Sarah Pedigo, Shellfish Aquaculture program specialist, at (843) 953-2074.
