Satellite data helps Maine oyster farms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oyster farming in Maine is becoming increasingly data-driven as University of Maine researchers use satellite observations to predict oyster growth and identify promising aquaculture sites, reports the Global Seafood Alliance. The research, led by scientists Thomas Kiffney and Damian Brady, combines satellite measurements of coastal temperature, chlorophyll and suspended particulate matter with field observations to understand how environmental conditions influence eastern oyster growth.
