Working with Stockton University and volunteers from ReClam the Bay, BBP researchers deployed suspended bags of oyster shells (which serve as substrate for larval oysters to settle on and begin their life cycle) along the western side of the bay at 33 locations during the summer of 2015. The sites selected historically supported oyster seed beds or were in proximity to suspected oyster production areas.This report summarizes the findings from the southern portion of the bay as documented by Stockton University.
