Oysters that are too big for commercial sale are seen in oyster cages in the three-acre Spindrift Oysters farm after being pulled out of their beds in the West Branch of the Westport River in Westport, Massachusetts, on Thu., April 22, 2021. The oysters are too big or misshapen for commercial sale due to an extreme drop in restaurant demand due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. Farmed oysters take two years to reach prime commercial saleability, and the drop in sales resulted in tens of thousands of oysters that grew too big for sale. Spindrift Oysters owner and operator Toph Jusseaume says that during 2020, sales from his three acre farm in the river were down 90% from the previous year because of this drop in restaurant demand. These oysters have instead been purchased for use in the Supporting Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration program partnership between The Nature Conservancy, Pew Charitable Trusts, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. These oysters, 15,000 from this farm on this day, and another 20,000 oysters from the same farm a few months ago, were relocated to the Little Bay in Fairhaven, Mass., as part of a 1 acre pilot program to restore lost oyster reefs and increase filtration of the water.
