I arrived in Oregon in June, of 2016, having never eaten an oyster, let alone studied them. Since then I\u2019ve learned about their life cycle, importance to the environment, their service as a harvestable resource and have developed the unnatural ability to know the phase of the moon and the times of the low tides. It has been a little over a year since the oysters I\u2019ve been cultivating in Netarts Bay were initially deployed and so it\u2019s time to write a blog post.<\/p>\n

The growth has been more physical than mental for the oysters. They\u2019ve gone from a few millimeters to an average of over 5 cm in length. My growth, on the other hand, has been much more mental. I\u2019ve had the opportunity to work with and learn from some incredible people in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, here at Oregon State University. I\u2019ve been extremely lucky to work with my advisor Dr. Alyssa Shiel, as well as Drs. George Waldbusser and Adam Kent on this research funded by Oregon Sea Grant. I\u2019ve also had the opportunity to work with an amazing set of graduate students and who\u2019ve taught me so much in the past year.<\/p>\n

So what have I been doing over the past year and why? Read more in the following weeks as the series continues on my website,\u00a0http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/wensmans\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
