About this listen
🦪 Mississippi’s oyster industry nearly disappeared — and most people don’t realize how close it came.
In this clip, Jason Rider, Shellfish Bureau Director, and Eric Broussard, Deputy Director Office of Marine Fisheries with the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, explain how oyster harvest numbers dropped from hundreds of thousands of sacks to just a fraction of that, and why last season marked an important turning point for recovery.
🌊 What caused the long decline in Mississippi oysters 📉 The massive difference between historic and recent harvest numbers ⚖️ How DMR decides when it’s safe to reopen oyster season 🌱 Why oyster reefs matter for the entire Gulf Coast ecosystem
This is a behind-the-scenes look at the science, management, and long-term planning it takes to bring Mississippi oysters back the right way.
