Creative Conservation - A Positive Pandemic Story

I recently was asked to shoot a really cool project close to home on the New Hampshire Seacoast for The Nature Conservancy (TNC) that took a look at their successful aquaculture program called Supporting Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration (SOAR.) My colleague Ryan Smith and I spent four days on New Hampshire’s Little Bay and Great Bay in late October shooting stills and video of local oyster farmers and TNC scientists as they harvested, sorted, and redeployed oysters to a restoration site in the bay.

Thanks for taking a look!
