Fall is here, but there's no rest for our dedicated science team! Last Friday, we kicked off our post-restoration monitoring in the St. Mary's River. Restored reefs are monitored to determine oyster density, growth, and assess overall reef health. Monitoring results are used to adaptively manage the reefs and inform future restoration needs. There are some beautiful-looking oysters out there!
