As part of the third journey, which concentrates on policy that affects the bay, Chesapeake Semester students traveled to Cambridge, MD to visit Horn Point Lab and the Oyster Recovery Partnership to see how oysters are grown in captivity to be released into the bay, in hopes that they will one day repopulate the bay’s endangered oyster population. In the afternoon, the group visited Marinetics, a private aquaculture operation that produces oysters for sale to restaurants and distributors. -
Students in the first-year seminar “Writing On Water” took a sunset cruise on the Elsworth, an historic 40-foot skipjack belonging to the Echo Hill Outdoor School. Captain Andy McCown ‘77, Associate Director of EHOS, entertained students with stories, poems, and readings from The Lord’s Oysters, a memoir by another WC alumnus, Gilbert Byron.
