During the month of November, 2019, the Seadrift Municipal Harbor had 21,968 barrels of oysters come off boats and shipped out. The oyster tariff collected from the Commercial Oyster Leases was $17,574.00.

Seadrift Harbor

Constructed by the Railroad between 1906 and 1909, the Seadrift Harbor has continued nonstop to this day. Currently this oyster season the Seadrift Harbor has at least 150 or more boats that have come from different parts of the country. This is probably one of the busiest seasons ever because of the lack of oysters in other parts of the Gulf Coast. We don’t know how long this bountiful harvest of oysters will last, but for now, we stand in awe of a Bountiful God
