This conversation features Chuck Connors, owner of Great Harbor Oysters, a farm set out in the waters of Nantucket Harbor.

 

But like most things here, the oysters are only part of the story. What sits behind them is a life built around the harbor — the work, the risk, the early mornings, and the long process of turning a stretch of water into something sustainable.

 

This piece, from Nantucket Community Television’s We Are Nantucket series, captures that perspective in his own words, as a record of how someone finds their way into this kind of work, and what it takes to stay in it.
