I agree that the runoff is a big part of the problem.
But oysters, when in abundance absolutely could liveand thrive in a polluted bay. There just needs to be enough of them that each one can handle the burden.
I couldn't soak up a bottle of spilled water with one paper towel. But if I had an entire roll, the job would be easy.
