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.  Rising Tide, the Ocean Podcast is co-hosted by Blue Frontier's David Helvarg and the Inland Ocean Coalition's Vicki Nichols-Goldstein. This podcast aims to give you information, inspiration and motivation (along with a few laughs) to help understand our ocean world and make it better. The ocean is rising, and so are we!Learn more at bluefront.org
