The 2023 North Carolina Oyster Summit will convene oyster researchers, managers, growers, harvesters, restaurateurs, restoration practitioners, state legislators, educators and others for a two-day workshop and legislative reception on May 9th and 10th in Raleigh, at the Marbles Kids Museum. The Summit is designed to celebrate recent oyster accomplishments and coalesce the partnerships that will accelerate future oyster work. The strategic document, the NC Oyster Blueprint, has for nearly 20 years, guided the partnerships and leveraged these relationships to accelerate the restoration, protection and growing of our state’s oyster resources. This year’s Summit theme is: Resilient Coasts for Future Roasts.
