Congratulations PWEC! Tilghman Aquaculture Incubator Will Become National Model Beginning in fall 2018, an innovative oyster aquaculture incubator at Phillips Wharf Environmental Center on Tilghman Island will serve as a national model for traditional working waterfront communities seeking to strengthen the local economy. This new incubator will build an industry workforce on Maryland’s Eastern Shore using hands-on training on the Phillips Wharf oyster farm to teach watermen how to add aquaculture revenues to their existing businesses or transition to aquaculture entirely. Phillips Wharf is one of seven organizations nationwide chosen out of 65 applicants for this highly competitive grant award!
