During the workshop, results were presented from a 2-year grant funded by The Nature Conservancy SOAR program. Regulatory and incentive-based policies were reviewed related to bivalve-based restoration for water quality improvement. Additionally, a Florida Shellfish Calculator (https://ufl864.outgrow.us/ufl864-2) was developed, which estimates the amount and potential monetary value of nitrogen removal services that clam and oyster farming provides.
