Shells and rocks: paving the way to increase oyster habitat in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, a Horn Point Lab Series

Presented by Professor Elizabeth North
Baby oysters prefer to grow on the shells of other oysters. They sense that this must be a good home for an oyster! But because oyster shells are in short supply, scientists are experimenting with other materials to find out what surfaces can support healthy populations. Professor Elizabeth North will take attendees on the science journey to evaluate solutions to increase oysters and their habitat in the Bay.

 Pre-registration is requested.  Attendees can register for one or more of the talks online:
