flag US volunteers are cultivating oysters to restore the Chesapeake Bay's population and improve water quality.

flag US oyster gardeners like Kimberly Price are helping to restore the Chesapeake Bay's oyster population, which has fallen to just one percent of its original size due to pollution, disease, and overharvesting. flag These volunteers nurture thousands of oysters at home until they are ready to be planted in the bay, where they can process up to 50 gallons of water daily, improving water quality and capturing carbon dioxide. flag The Chesapeake Bay Foundation aims to add 10 billion oysters to the bay by 2025, with 6.7 billion already planted.
