The Oyster Farmers

Repopulating the Eastern Oyster

The once prolific Eastern Oyster, an economic and cultural keystone, historically decimated, is poised to recapture its legacy. THE OYSTER FARMERS tells the story of the farmers in the Barnegat Bay leading a Baymen's renaissance, cultivating a resurgence of the oyster, to restore its heritage.

This portrait of coastal life in New Jersey, specifically the Barnegat Bay, raises awareness of the lost oyster culture and preserves the Baymen's heritage by putting it on screen.
