"It seems Asian oysters are nearly -- but not quite -- off the menu for restoring Chesapeake Bay's bivalves.
The natural resources secretaries of Maryland and Virginia conferred by phone today with the commander of the Norfolk District of the Army Corps of Engineers to see if they could come up with a common strategy for rebuilding the bay's battered oyster industry and repopulating the bay with filter-feeding bivalves. According to all involved, they agreed to focus their efforts on the native oyster, Crassostrea virginica, both for commercial and ecological purposes."
