Jackie Shannon, Chesapeake Bay Foundation oyster restoration specialist, prepares to unload 60 bushels of oyster shell from a trailer April 2, 2012. The CBF collects empty oyster shells and recycles them to create oyster reefs and, in turn, restore native oysters in the Chesapeake Bay. Norfolk District partnered with fourth graders from Virginia Beach’s Seatack Elementary School in 2011 to grow baby oysters in floats and then build an oyster reef this spring at historic Fort Norfolk.
