"This oyster restoration center floats! The Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s innovative new oyster barge travels from one river to the next, allowing CBF to restore local oyster populations more efficiently than ever before. As a result, CBF will plant millions more oysters as the Chesapeake Oyster Alliance works toward a goal of 10 billion new oysters in the Bay by 2025.
This uniquely mobile facility sits atop two linked barges that hold six 850-gallon tanks where baby oysters will attach (or "set") on recycled shells and reef balls. When the oysters have set, these shells and reef balls will be planted on nearby sanctuary reefs."
