Research the ORP - Oyster recovery program.
Lot of money already flows to oystersmen. It is more a put / take then a real recovery effort - IMHO. Seems that kind of money should give better results.
Then there are the poachers - raiding the sanctuary areas.
Oysters left alone would help clear up the bay. Then sea grasses could grow - these help even more.
I talk to guys who fished in the early 60's - just 50 years ago. They tell me how clear the water was and grass beds so thick they could not get boats through them in summer time.
While everyone argues / studies what needs to be done - oysters are quietly filtering bay water. Get enough of them out there - water would improve.
