Maine engineers build solar floating conveyor to automate oyster farming
Engineers in Maine are developing a solar-powered floating platform designed specifically for oyster aquaculture. The system features a vertical conveyor mechanism that lifts oyster baskets from underwater to the surface, reducing the physical labor required from farmers. Beyond harvesting assistance, the platform also helps shape oysters and remove unwanted marine growth from their shells. The device is projected to handle up to 125,000 oysters annually, potentially transforming small-scale oyster farming operations.
