Wow, we had the best time shuckin’ oysters and drinking #chesapeakewheat with @flyingdogbrewery at @pussersannapolis. Did you know that in our 10 year partnership Flying Dog has helped plant over 7 MILLION oysters?! It is no surprise that their team caught on quick as we shucked a bucket full of oysters from the Nanticoke River. Our events “Shuck Like a Pro” remind us how lucky we are to have partners as cool as Flying Dog to help join us in our mission of improving life on the Chesapeake Bay.

What do 5 million #oyster larvae (microscopic baby #oysters) look like before they become spat-on-shell (i.e. before they stick to a shell and get planted in the #ChesapeakeBay)? THIS! A big ball of... what looks like... sand. Shout out to our partners at @umces_hpl for their hard work creating and nurturing these future water-filtering machines (and for sharing photos)! The hatchery team knows larvae are ready for "the big time" by watching under a microscope - each mini oyster sticks out a tiny foot to reach for a hard surface to hold onto. Pretty cool! #TheMoreYouKnow

Scale of 1-10 most exciting work days, today was a 10!! We and our friends at Faidley's Seafood were so pleased to welcome @cbsnews @skylerhenry to #Baltimore for a taste of some fresh #ChesapeakeBay #oysters!
