Oceanwatch's Oyster Gear Finder App – Out Now!

OceanWatch’s Oyster Gear Finder is a community-driven app designed to help connect people who find washed-up oyster farming gear with the local farmers who own it. By streamlining gear recovery after storms and floods, the app supports environmental protection, reduces waste, and helps oyster farmers recover valuable equipment quickly and efficiently. By connecting farmers with finders, it makes it easy to report, match, and recover gear. Designed to reduce environmental impacts and gear loss, Oyster Gear Finder has an easy-to-use interface tailored to the needs of both oyster farmers and the community.
