Oyster stocks have plunged in the Chesapeake. This resident wants to bring them back

The oyster population in the Chesapeake Bay has drastically declined due to overharvesting, which has caused deteriorating water quality and less habitat for other marine species. Determined to revive the oyster population, researchers and local residents are now adopting innovative conservation strategies. These efforts not only aim to restore oyster numbers but also to improve the overall health of the bay ecosystem, which is crucial for the region's biodiversity and economy. This initiative highlights the broader importance of sustainable practices in marine conservation.
