View Web Version   Buy Tickets Creating Harbor Habitats, One Biohut at a Time It's amazing what you can do with a metal cage and a bunch of oyster shells! The National Aquarium—in partnership with Biohabitats, Inc. and ECOCEAN—launched its Biohut Pilot Project in June, installing eight Biohuts on the bulkheads of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. What in the world is a Biohut, you ask? It's a double cage system where one side is filled with oyster shells that attract rapid colonization by microorganisms, quickly creating a mini ecosystem right off the pier.
