Background Knowledge for the Teacher

Welcome to the amazing world of oysters! Oysters are amazing organisms in so many ways, and there is an endless amount of information to share. The resources below are a great place to start. If you don’t want to go through it all at once, start with the natural history of the oyster. That information is important for lessons 1 and 2 in the unit. Exploring the sections on population decline, as well as aquaculture and restoration will help with lessons 3 and 4.
