Abstract:

The Oyster has been enjoyed throughout North American coasts for over 3,000 years, and being such a popular dish along the east coast has, in fact, endangered the species as well as their natural habitat. The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries is concerned with the long-term effect of environmental stressors and overharvesting, so, in response, the N.C.D.M.F. has launched programs focusing on supporting the regrowth and repopulation of the species.
