- 3-Dimensional Cultivation of Oysters Automated with Solar TumblingEngineers and aquaculture experts in mid-coast Maine are testing a solar-powered floating system that could change how oysters are farmed.
- The platform uses a vertical conveyor to move oyster baskets between coastal waters and the open air.
- The system, called 3D-COAST (3-Dimensional Cultivation of Oysters Automated with Solar Tumbling), is designed to produce up to 125,000 oysters each year from a single 8-by-25-foot floating raft.
