Learn about the role oysters play in the health of Apalachicola Bay. Discover what makes the bay so ideal for growing oysters, what gives our oysters their distinct flavor, and how oyster bars benefit the ecosystem. We will also look at possible causes of the oysters collapse and what is being done to restore them to Apalachicola Bay. Participants will get the chance examine these creatures under our high-powered microscope, and learn more about the animals that live in our bay and along the tidal flats.

Emily Fuqua will kick off the Sci-Cafe series this year with oyster restoration projects she has been involved in around the Apalachicola Bay area. By integrating oyster biology and restorative aquaculture approaches into restoration, these projects aim to support Florida’s oyster populations and their ecosystems, and they incorporate a large array of techniques from larval culture to drone mapping. Emily will highlight promising additional and alternative approaches to traditional oyster restoration for Florida and the Apalachicola Bay area. Emily recently earned her PhD at Florida State University in December 2025. Her background includes finfish and shellfish restoration using traditional and restorative aquaculture techniques for fisheries management and ecosystem restoration. She has worked with culturally and economically important species, such as cobia, redfish, and oysters in South Carolina and Florida. Her research focuses on conservation and restoration of important coastal species and ecosystems.
