REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – Oyster farms could soon come to Delaware's Inland Bays.
The Center for the Inland Bays is leading efforts seeking approval for commercial shellfish aquaculture. As part of the practice, watermen grow and harvest their own oysters by leasing space from the state. It's currently not allowed in the three inland bays.
"It would create jobs," said Ted Nowakowski, partner in Broadwater Oyster Company. "It would also create revenue."
Nowakowski lives in Rehoboth Beach but must drive to Virginia to grow oysters. He said the state of Delaware is losing out to Maryland and Virginia.
