University of Georgia Coordinator for Oyster Restoration, Daniel Harris, left, stands over a group of interns from The Nature Conservancy's Leaders in Environmental Action for the Future (LEAF) program on a developmental oyster reef made of shells and other material. A hundred years ago the Sapelo estuary oyster reefs where destroyed due to over harvesting. Inters with LEAF program are getting real-world experience on how to restore such creeks with a natural breakwater. (Stephen Morton for The New York Times)
