Delicate Oyster Shell On Cape Cod Bay.

We’ve seen so many Oyster shells on the beaches of Cape Cod Bay lately. It must be “the oyster season.”

Did you know that “the most widely known ecological function of the oyster is that they filter the water? Oysters are considered vacuum cleaners. They filter the water removing organic and inorganic particles from the water column resulting in cleaner water which positively impacts other species.”

Very interesting, don’t you think?
