Representatives from the Norfolk District, Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA, The Virginia Marine Resources Commission, The Nature Conservancy, Senator Mark Warner’s Office and Congressman Rob Wittman’s Office visited the Piankatank River Oyster Recovery Project near Gwynn Island, Virginia. The group signed pieces of granite and added the signed rocks to the reef as part of a dedication ceremony. The 25 acre reef will provide new sanctuary habitat for oysters in the estuary.
