In this episode, we talk with John Finger, Founding Partner and CEO of Hog Island Oyster Company based on Tomales Bay, California.
We cover a wide range of topics from reviving the native Olympia oyster and the benefits of oysters on ocean health to the impact of man-made CO2 emissions on growing oysters in a changing ocean chemistry.
If you love eating oysters, are interested in ocean ecology, or just generally interested in the impacts of our food system on the world around us, this episode is for you.
