800 million oyster seed planted in Maryland waterways as part of Bay Watershed Agreement


Progress is being made to improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay.

This week, the Chesapeake Bay Program along with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released a report on work being done to increase oyster reefs. It's part of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. Among the goals outlined in the agreement is the restoration of native oyster habitat and populations in 10 tributaries by 2025.

For Maryland, this is the sixth annual update on oyster restoration efforts. The main targets of restoration right now are Harris Creek, Little Choptank River and Tred Avon River on the Eastern Shore.

Where can I get some of these oyster seeds? I'd like to grow some in my goldfish pond.
