Brown Bag Gam: North Carolina's Oyster Fishery of Old

  • NC Maritime Museum 315 Front St Beaufort, NC (map)

Pack a lunch for the Brown Bag Gam during your lunch hour and join an informal discussion about oysters in North Carolina. The eastern oyster of North Carolina’s waters has long been a staple for human diets. The fishery has seen its ups and downs with the hey-day occurring more than a century ago. Come learn about this interesting bi-valve and the resource as a historic fishery that can hopefully make a come-back some day.

Gam is defined as a friendly conversation between whalers or to visit with another ship while at sea. Free Admission. No advance registration. Walk-ins welcome.
