| Notes | "The Nature Conservancy of Oregon (TNC) partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), and the Oregon State University’s Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station (COMES) and Molluscan Broodstock Program (MBP) to explore re-stablishment and restoration options for the native Olympia oyster in Netarts Bay, Oregon. TNC’s overall project goal is to re‐establish a self‐sustaining population of native oysters within Netarts Bay." (p.3) This report describes research conducted during the first year of this project. Shell cultch set with Olympia oysters was added to the bay to provide substrate for the oysters. Effects of the transplation on the eelgrass bed were examined. |
