Aquaculture Start-up Solar Oysters Aims to Clean the Chesapeake Bay
(UNITED STATES, 11/22/2020)
Solar Oysters has built an automated “floatovoltaic” oyster production system that has the potential to produce up to 2.4 million oysters in 45 times less space than a traditional farm. As a supporter of the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint project, Solar Oysters technology could have reduced Maryland’s target nitrogen reduction shortfall (2009-2019), which the EPA has mandated that Maryland must advance by 2025 to remain on target.

The Solar Oysters Production System, developed through a joint venture formed by the Maritime Applied Physics Corporation and the EcoLogix Group, Inc., has been advanced by a Maryland Industrial Partnership grant with the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. The system can generate valuable protein and nutrient credits, using solar energy.
“Oysters not only contribute to our food supply but also provide immense benefits to the Chesapeake Bay and other waterways through their ability to remove nitrogen and phosphorus in the water. The oysters in our largest unit filter up to 43 billion gallons of water per year and could offset the nitrogen load from 2852 acres of land,” states Mark Rice, principal of Solar Oysters, LLC.
