Shore Daily News: New tool to track oyster trends. “What sets this version apart is its interactivity. Instead of static charts, users can explore a live map with a time slider, watching oyster populations change year by year.

Visiting big Auntie with Mom before heading off to set up for UVIC Campus Community Garden Spring Market. Auntie's husband harvested oysters & sea snails with his friend, late last night. I haven't had sea snails in almost a decade. We eat them with 2 different dipping sauces - nuoc cham sauce with lemon & garlic butter sauce.

Decades ago, a Maryland sailor burned his winter socks. Now it's a spring tradition

In Annapolis, Md., people gather each year to usher in the warmer weather by burning their socks. The springtime tradition is the unofficial start of the Chesapeake Bay sailing season.
