Abstract:
At the start of the 20th-century, over a million bushels of oysters were harvested annually in the state. Pollution, over-harvesting, and silty runoffs from coastal construction reduced harvests to 55,000 bushels yearly in the 1990s. Jim and Bonnie Swartzenburg are among a number of oysters farmers seeking to restore the state's oyster culture.
