Construction Starts on N.C.’s First Green Oyster Hatchery
Construction on the “green” Oyster Hatchery Research facility at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington, N.C., has begun, the university announced.
The project is the result of an effort that began in 2006 when the North Carolina Aquarium Division asked Raleigh, N.C.-based architect Frank Harmon to work with the state’s new Oyster Hatchery Program to determine the feasibility for three eco-friendly oyster hatchery facilities along the North Carolina coast.
