UMCES Horn Point Oyster Hatchery Internships

The oyster culture program at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Horn Point Laboratory is accepting applications for a 2021 summer internship. The oyster hatchery, one of the largest on the East Coast, produces oyster larvae, spat on shell, and oyster seed for restoration and aquaculture activities, as well as for research and education. The facility includes large larval tanks, a greenhouse for algal production, over fifty outdoor setting tanks, and a demonstration oyster farm. More details about the internship can be found here.

Due to the continuing covid-19 pandemic, they are unsure if the will be able to offer housing, so that may be a factor for some applicants. Applications will be accepted until February 11, 2021.
