The Apalachicola oyster fleet
1900
Eastpoint, Florida
The bay where the river met the Gulf produced most of Florida's oysters and a tenth of the country's, tonged by hand from small boats by men working a bottom their fathers had worked. Upstream water was drawn off for Atlanta and for farms in Georgia, the salinity rose, and in 2012 the fishery failed. Harvesting was closed outright in 2020, with the reopening pushed back again since.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
