Current OysterBreak™ Projects

Use of the OysterBreak™ and OysterKrete® technologies is exclusively licensed to Wayfarer Environmental Technologies (WET).  WET is currently building an OysterBreak™ project to protect the shoreline of the Rainey Wildlife Refuge.  The project, located in Hell Hole Bay, consists of 350 OysterBreak™ rings in two configurations.  Using local contractors and unique equipment, WET was able to deploy the rings in two and a half feet of water with no dredging and no impacts to oyster bottom resources. 

The project is funded by the Nature Conservancy, who is also funding scientific monitoring of the structures. 

Because the site is a state oyster seed ground, access dredging would require costly restoration.  Using unique airboat mounted equipment, WET is constructing an OysterBreakTM in two and a half feet of water with no dredging and no impacts to the bottom.
