When John Smith traveled through the Bay in the early 1600s, the oyster reefs extended above the surface of the water.
The oysters would filter all of the Bay’s water in a single day.THAT’S A CLEAN BAY!
Now we only have ONE PERCENT of the original amount of oysters.
It takes our oysters an entire year to filter the water of the Bay.
The Oyster Recovery Partnership is a group working to rebuild the Chesapeake Bay’s oyster reefs.
For every dollar that they receive, they can grow 100 oysters.
$10 = 1000 oysters$100 = 10,000 oysters$1000 = 100,000 oysters
As part of Green Field Day, we are fundraising for The Oyster Recovery Partnership.
