On the shores of Rhode Island, my family has participated in an oyster gardening program run URI which involved the same wire boxes and shells with larvae attached. However we kept them tied to the dock, then they collected and distributed to the beds. It's cool to see the research seems to have evolved and they can just go straight to the beds now. That being said, all the little kids in my extended family got excited and educated about oysters from having them tied to the dock, so there's something to be said for that too.
