Spindrift Oysters owner and operator Toph Jusseaume (foreground) and deckhands Tony Wood (top left) and Aidan Corey work to remove their boat from the water at the Westport River Public Boat Launch after harvesting 15,000 oysters from the company's 3-acre farm in the West Branch of the Westport River in Westport, Massachusetts, on Thu., April 22, 2021. Oysters are sold by count rather than weight and each bin contains approximately 500 oysters. The oysters being harvested on this day 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 farm were down 90% from the previous year because of this drop in restaurant demand. The oysters harvested on this day 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.
