Editorial: Science, nature helping oysters
Staff quoted: UMCES
Pity the poor Chesapeake Bay oyster. His habitat is being fouled and diminished, and because of that, the oyster is fewer in number. And in a typical downward spiral, as the oyster population is decreased, the demise of the habitat is hastened, because the oyster filters the waters in which it lives. With fewer oysters, less filtration takes place. And as pollutants and sediment increase, fewer oysters survive.
