Opportunity Information: Apply for W81EWF 25 SOI 0008
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Baltimore District and Maryland Department of Natural Resources are considering Herring Bay, an open-water sanctuary in the Chesapeake Bay, for a large-scale oyster reef restoration project. The goal is to assess larval transport and hydrodynamic behavior within the 16,792-acre bay to support a comprehensive restoration plan. Historically rich in oyster beds, Herring Bay’s oyster populations have collapsed due to overharvesting, habitat degradation, poor water quality, and disease. However, physical conditions still favor reef restoration.
To move forward, the partners seek to conduct hydrodynamic modeling linked with oyster larval behavior to identify key “source” and “sink” reef areas, and to understand the region’s broader larval connectivity. This will guide the phased selection of restoration sites and help determine which reef areas could sustain themselves or contribute larvae to others.
This project is significant because it tests a new model for oyster restoration in open mainstem Bay areas, differing from the traditional focus on more contained tributaries. A successful strategy here could serve as a blueprint for other regions. Restoring oyster populations would enhance water clarity, nutrient cycling, fish and crab habitats, and shoreline stabilization. Findings will also be shared broadly via peer-reviewed publication. This funding opportunity is open only to non-federal members of the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU).Apply for W81EWF 25 SOI 0008
