James Tweed
New Jersey Board Member

I have been employed as the oyster farm manager for Atlantic Capes Fisheries (ACF) for the past 10 years. In that time I’ve been responsible for developing and marketing the ACF branded Cape May Salt Oyster.

The ACF Cape May Salt farm, located on the remote shores of the Delaware Bay in Cape May County, NJ, is currently the largest oyster aquaculture farm in the state of New Jersey. For the past several years we have consistently produced over 500,000 oysters. We have an area of distribution that includes most of the Mid-Atlantic.

As a representative of the New Jersey Aquaculture industry I am involved with many aquaculture advocacy organizations. I am a 2005 graduate of the New Jersey Agricultural Leadership Development Program and currently serving in my third year as President of the Cape May County Board of Agriculture. For the past several years I have served as a member (by proxy) of the New Jersey Aquaculture Advisory Council.
