The Fun and Sex of Shellfish Restoration

Wet, dirty sex – that’s the topic for discussion of an upcoming class. "It’s the sex talk," admitted Gef Flimlin, professor and marine extension agent of the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County. "Now, the average guy is really interested because he sees those three letters: S, E, X." This class is the second for ReClam the Bay, the nonprofit organization that is affiliated with the Barnegat Bay Shellfish Restoration Program sponsored by Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County. The class will feature Flimlin discussing how spawning happens in the clam hatchery – the sex part. Flimlin said the class will go from spawning all the way to harvesting.
