Abstract | The specific goals of the Aquatic Reef Habitat Plan are: to improve the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay and the ecological value of the oyster resource; to restore, augment, or set aside hard substrate on the Bay bottom to enhance reef community development and improve aquatic habitat; and to increase the stock of oysters in the Chesapeake Bay. The Plan addresses such issues as the role of the respective jurisdictions, criteria for site selection and reef design, materials for reef construction, placement, monitoring, liability, and fishing restrictions. |
