  • 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)

  • Researchers at the University of Georgia Marine Extension Service and their partners have developed a technique for restoring oysters reefs that where long ago destroyed by harvesting. What they developed is a substrate of old shells where young oysters can develop and grow. Oysters act as a natural barrier along miles of creeks in the estuary. Without that barrier, currents erode the banks more quickly. (Stephen Morton for The New York Times)
