There are oyster and mussel farms on the Alabama Gulf coast that do this, and it's generating a lot of interest around Apalachicola. Apalachicola Bay is famous for it's oysters, but the industry is dying because of saltwater intrusion. The Apalachicola river empties into the bay, which reduces it's salinity, but the mega-shithole of Atlanta is sucking up all the water before it makes it to the bay. The thinking is vertical farming of more salt resistant species is an answer. We need to do something, the industry has been almost destroyed. Fuck I hate cities.
