First annual release of the Maryland's Coastal Bays Report Card. These sensitive coastal lagoons received an overall grade of C+ for 2008. Scientists, the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, National Parks Service, state and local politicians, other dignitaries, and the general public gathered to hear the assessment which was based on water quality and other monitoring data and disseminated widely through various media. The Report Card was a collaboration between several entities, including the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, IAN, EcoCheck, and the Maryland Coastal Bays Program.

Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are grown by Oyster Gardeners and redistributed to oyster restoration reefs throughout Chesapeake Bay by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation after growing for a season to minimize mortality from diseases and encourage community involvement
Redistributing Oyster Gardens
A Taylor float is used for Oyster Gardening for oyster restoration. The PVC tubing allows these oysters to grow near the surface of the water, above water that is potentially hypoxic (with little oxygen) or anoxic (no oxygen).
