Here's some good news for oyster harvesters in Alabama.
Coastal Alabama has had two years of relatively good wild oyster harvests, and state officials told harvesters Tuesday that things look good for the 2022-23 season as well.
“The abundances were a little lower in Heron Bay,” John Mareska, assistant chief of fisheries, said of the results of this year’s dives. “They were higher, though, on Cedar Point East and on Cedar Point West, so we’re really hoping to continue the trend we’ve had for the past three years of increasing harvests. Our goal would be to reach last year’s level, maybe even exceed it.
Mareska said the upward trend shows conservation efforts are making progress in recovering from damage those areas suffered in the years after Hurricane Katrina. “I would say we’re about a third of the way back to where we would like to be,” he said. “Of course, Mother Nature is in control.” Mareska said it’s likely that the season will open in early October, thought a start date hasn’t been formally announced. The season will once again be open on some Saturdays, giving school-age harvesters a chance to try their hand.
