The staff and volunteers at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, a 2014 Orvis Customer Matching Grant partner, are having a busy summer shoveling shells! Recently a group went out to the Harris Creek oyster sanctuary to deposit 15 tons of oyster shell set with spat as part of the effort to restore the health of Chesapeake Bay. This article by Josh Bollinger in the Star Democrat tells the whole story.
