While most businesses across the United States remained shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic, Terry Sawyer, co-founder of Hog Island Oyster Co had plenty of work to stay busy.

“When you have something that takes anywhere from a year to three years to get to market size once you plant it, you can’t just ignore it,” Sawyer said. Others in the aquaculture community were equally hard hit. A survey of members by the California Aquaculture Association found 91% of respondents had been “significantly impacted by COVID-19” with sales declines ranging from 50% to 95%.
“If we can’t get out there to do this work, some of them will die because they’ve been too crowded. They’ll be misshapen,” Sawyer said.
