Assessing PolyIC and hardening Effort A project oysters at Sequim Bay

Today I took images and assessed oysters at Sequim Bay from the PolyIC project and Effort A of our hardening efforts.

Overview

All information for the PolyIC project can be found on our GitHub repo here and information on hardenign efforts can be found in our repo here.

Today I took images and counted dead oysters in n=8 bags of PolyIC oysters from July 2025 outplants and n=8 bags of Effort A oysters that were assessed back in June 2025.

All data is available under outplanting directories in the repos linked above.

Poly IC outplants

We have 8 bags outplanted for the PolyIC project at Sequim identified with exterior green small sheep tags (no. 13-20).

There was little mortality - a couple bags had one or two dead oysters.

There has been a lot of growth since our outplant!

Effort A outplants

We have 8 bags outplanted for the Effort A project at Sequim identified with interior green small sheep tags (no. 93-100).

There was little mortality - a couple bags had one or two dead oysters like the PolyIC bags. The oysters are large - growth was high this summer.

Loggers

I downloaded n=4 loggers. Here is the temperature data we have for this summer.

Next steps

  • Image analysis for PolyIC outplants (will create GH Issue)
  • Image analysis for Effort A outplants (will create GH Issue)
