In Situ Setting of Crassostrea Virginica Larvae on Restored Reefs: A Complementary Method for Restoring Oyster Populations

Restoring the Chesapeake Bay’s oyster reefs will likely have large benefits for both the Bay ecosystem and local economies, scientists say. Currently, to build a new oyster reef, restoration experts typically seed Bay habitats with larvae attached to hard surfaces, including recycled oyster shells. Such a technique, however, may not work well in all scenarios. This study will explore the effectiveness of a new restoration strategy in which free-floating larvae are added to an existing reef in the wild.
