Description
The reefs will be constructed in existing oyster sanctuaries (non-harvest areas). The intent is for the reefs to provide fish habitat and water filtration, and to serve as a source of broodstock to both sustain the new reefs over the long term and to bolster oyster populations on nearby harvest reefs. Partners, including NOAA, US army corps of engineers, NOAA, and several academic and NGO entities, have worked together for the past decade to build oyster reefs in chesapeake BAY at an unprecedented scale. These reefs building upon the proven and successful techniques developed in that timeframe.
