Bivalve Hatchery

The goal of the Bivalve Hatchery is to increase prevalence of shellfish farming in Hawaii.

The Student Workforce Training Program provides students with an opportunity to experience oyster production for research and commercial purposes. The oysters supply farms in Hawaii and on the West Coast.
