The interviewed Matt Nixon, a Ph.D. candidate at the 91���� and owner of Muddy River Farm Aquaponics, about his plans to farm oysters. In collaboration with researchers at 91����’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center, he is designing the world’s first 3D-printed, closed-loop oyster-farming tank made from sustainable materials. The prototype for it was printed at 91����. “I started this company to try to find sustainable solutions to climate change, even though we may be too late to reverse some,” Nixon said of Muddy River Farm Aquaponics. “I want to slow and blunt the changes as best we can, which is what growing oysters is all about.”
