Oysters and the reefs they create are iconic natural features of Chesapeake Bay. Today, watermen, scientists, managers, conservation groups and a wide range of other stakeholders are coming together to reinvigorate the shellfish. They’re undertaking large-scale efforts to restore oyster reefs, rebuild fisheries and expand oyster aquaculture. In this talk, SERC ecologist Matt Ogburn will give an update on the state of Chesapeake oysters and share insights from SERC’s ongoing oyster research.

SERC's monthly evening lectures run every third Tuesday of the month, from March through October. Lectures are free and open to all: No RSVP required!
