Stump Cove Oyster Co.

Located on the Little Choptank River on the Eastern Shore, Stump Cove has been in business for many years using traditional bottom culture techniques. Recently the owner has diversified into water column leases using floats and bottom cages. The company has built its own cleaning and filling equipment for shell bags, upweller nursery and remote setting systems. The area is in one of the new oyster sanctuaries developed by the state where aquaculture and restoration are deemed to be very compatible with each other.
