A Maine oyster farm is testing a floating conveyor that moves oyster baskets through water and air

Engineers in Maine are developing an innovative solar-powered floating system tailored for oyster farming. This unique platform incorporates a vertical conveyor that efficiently transports oyster baskets from underwater to above, aiming to enhance production while significantly lessening the labor demands on farmers. Additionally, it aids in shaping the oysters and cleaning their shells from unwanted marine growth.
