Meet Sammy Spat!

The importance of oysters to the health of our oceans cannot be overstated. In her book, Sammy Spat and the Big Rescue, author Kahren Dowcett takes a deep dive into the world under the sea taking Sammy, a one in a million oyster, on a marine adventure that weaves life lessons and ecological awareness that shines a light on oysters, not only as a sustainable food source, but as a keystone species; creating habitat, protecting coastlines from storm surge, and balancing ocean water quality. Oyster Super-hero Sammy Spat works 24/7 for our benefit inspiring oysters everywhere to survive and thrive.

No wonder Sammy Spat has been nominated for a Blue Marine Foundation Ocean Hero Award in the category of “Public Awareness”. YOU can help Sammy ride the tide to a win by supporting his campaign at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. Also, meet author Kahren Dowcett who will be signing copies of her book and take a picture with our Local Hero, Sammy Spat!
