"Marylanders Grow Oysters"
BILL BARGER, DNR Program Volunteer
"Marylanders Grow Oysters" is a volunteer program where waterfront property owners are growing millions of young oysters in cages suspended from private piers. Their goal is to protect young oysters during their vulnerable first year of life, so they may be planted on local sanctuaries where the oysters enrich the ecosystem and our oyster population. Bill will explain this new State of Maryland initiative and tell us about the newly established oyster sanctuaries in Southern Maryland.
