Why Are Oysters Crucial To The Survival And Growth Of Other Marine Species? What Impact Do Oysters Have On Our Waterways? | Oyster Recovery Partnership | Paul Schurick Ep. 136

You’ve eaten them, but do you know what oysters do for our waterways? These unassuming shellfish play a vital role in cleaning and protecting our waterways, but decades of overharvesting and destruction of their homes nearly wiped them out. Now, a major restoration movement is rebuilding oyster populations throughout the Chesapeake Bay. In this episode, Paul Schurick of the Oyster Recovery Partnership shares how this nonprofit is leading large-scale efforts to plant billions of oysters and rebuild reef habitats, support marine life, and protect the Bay’s future. From fascinating oyster facts to simple ways you can get involved, our conversation reveals just how much of an impact oysters — and people — can have on the environment.
