S3AM | Smart Sustainable Shellfish Aquaculture Management

Helping the aquaculture industry advance farming techniques, cut costs, increase production & profitability.

AQUATIC DRONE TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED FOR BETTER OYSTERS AND HEALTHY BOTTOM LINES

The goal of S3AM is to advance aquaculture farming techniques and cut costs, while growing production and farm profits.

The S3AM project is a partnership between academia, non-profits, extension networks, and commercial aquaculture across three coastal regions. Together, these stakeholders will work together throughout S3AM development—including field trials, economic studies, and implementation—to increase oyster production regionally and nationally.
