The traditional means of harvesting the Chesapeake Bay's oysters is undergoing a sea-change, as the industry moves from wild harvest to aquaculture. Join VIMS professor Stan Allen as he explores the factors that are fueling this transition, and describes the outlook for oyster aquaculture in the Bay. Allen heads the Aquaculture Genetics and Breeding Technology Center at VIMS, a leader in developing the disease-tolerant strains and grow-out techniques now being adopted by a growing number of Chesapeake Bay watermen. {{https://forms.wm.edu/2435,Register here.}}
