Infographic: Value of Chesapeake Bay Oyster Habitat

NOAA conducts important science to help make oyster reef restoration in the Chesapeake Bay‒the world’s largest oyster restoration project‒as effective and efficient as possible. We also provide funding to enable hatchery production of baby oysters and facilitate the partnerships that carry out this large-scale restoration. Oysters grown in aquaculture can provide habitat and help filter the water, too.
