Learn about the history of wild oysters on the Outer Cape and observe the reef restoration experiments launched in Wellfleet in 2009 by Mass Audubon, The Nature Conservancy, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The project aims to restore a section of an oyster reef that once extended from Boston through New York down into Chesapeake Bay. (The famous Wellfleet oysters of today are farmed on grants in other parts of the bay.)
