This study estimates that only one out of every fifive mariculture oysters purchased by consumers in South Carolina is produced in South Carolina. This reveals a significant potential demand for additional local production that is not currently being satisfied.Publication The economic benefits of South Carolina's beaches and barrier islands : assessment narrative and methodology(South Carolina State Library, 2021-09-10) South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium; Gorstein, M.
