- Description
- Scope of work applies to the monitoring of alternate substrate oyster reefs constructed by USACE. The primary purpose of USACE oyster restoration efforts is to construct oyster reef substrate to provide a good foundation for hatchery-grown oyster spat. Oyster reefs to be monitored have been constructed in the Severn River and at Cook Point Sanctuary within the Choptank River system. Oyster reefs have been constructed using granite, slag, concrete, and mixed shell. The objectives of this monitoring are: 1)Evaluate the oyster population [growth (size distribution), survival (density), and spat set (reproduction)] on alternate substrate reefs in Severn River and at Cook Point in the Choptank River, and 2)Evaluate whether and how the following design variables have affected reef performance: a.Substrate material, b.Reef height, c.Spat-on-shell planting, and d.Position in tributary i.Longitudinal- upstream, downstream, or middle ii.Lateral position in tributary- eastern or western shore, and iii.Position relative to shoreline- parallel or perpendicular.
