The Chesapeake Bay Magazine covered University of Maryland students’ senior capstone project, the “Bay Watcher”
“An oyster farmer from Solomons approached the mechanical engineering students with his dilemma: how to catch thieves dredging oysters illegally from privately-leased farms or protected sanctuaries.
The solution, dubbed Bay Watcher, is the result of a 15-week Capstone Project for mechanical engineering majors Kyle Thibeault, Noah Suttner, Chris Buckley, Patrick O’Shea, and Steve Powers, all of whom just graduated this month, and Noah Todd, who has one more semester to go.”
