Speaker: Samuel Ratcliff, Cape Shore Operations Manager, Rutgers University, Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory

Mr. Ratcliff will talk about the production and evaluation of Rutgers’ disease-resistant oyster lines, the production of tetraploid lines and other experimental crosses in support of genomic research and genomic selection, and the coastal environment benefits of aquaculture.

The Rutgers Cape Shore Laboratory is a New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and a field station located on the shore of Delaware Bay in Cape May, NJ. Laboratory facilities at the site include two hatcheries with 3000 sq. ft. of quarantine hatchery. The lab provides summer paid internships for students.

Samuel Ratcliff is the Operations Manager & Researcher at Rutgers University Cape Shore Laboratory in Cape May, NJ. He has worked with a wide range of species, from finfish and ornamental crustaceans to bivalves, which shaped his passion for sustainable aquaculture and coastal ecology, deepening his appreciation for the complexity of marine systems and the importance of hands-on research. He manages the Rutgers Cape Shore Laboratory, where he combines his scientific background with fieldwork, mentoring, and coordinating projects that support both research and the commercial sector of shellfish aquaculture in New Jersey.
