Oyster   Gardening   Project

"Oyster gardening is the non-commercial aquaculture of oysters.  It’s a popular activity in Virginia whereby waterfront homeowners grow oysters off their dock for local restoration purposes and/or personal consumption. Virginia is one, if not the only, state in the U.S. that permits oyster gardens in approved shellfish harvest areas and areas closed, or condemned, for harvest."
