Dan Martino and his brother Greg have been raising oysters in the clean, clear waters off East Chop for the last decade, growing “the best damn oysters that we can in the most environmentally positive way possible.” They’re also farming sugar kelp, which you can read about here. Combined, these crops (along with the clams they raise) create a baseline of regenerative farming, improving the biodiversity and the chemistry of the marine environment. In his spare time, Dan has written The Oyster Book, which came out in September (you can buy a signed edition on their website — cottatgecityoysters.com — along with other oyster goodies, and … kelp!).
The Oyster Book is “ an exploration of the past, present, and future of humanity’s relationship with the oyster, highlighting how humans can learn from our mistakes and harness the oyster’s potential for a more sustainable future.”
Great gift for your oyster-loving friends and family. Or yourself!
