Raising Backyard Oysters
Oyster gardening got its start in the mid-1990s when Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) researchers suggested having citizens grow oysters from their docks as a way to help clean up the bay. Oysters are the bay's primary filtration system. One mature oyster can clean some 50 gallons of water per day. Today more than 2,000 people in Virginia and Maryland maintain oyster gardens.
