  "projectDescription": "This project worked with partners  to create an approximately one acre  alternative substrate, sanctuary oyster reef in Maryland waters of the Chesapeake Bay. This project continued to demonstrate the use of recycled concrete rubble as a viable alternative to oyster shells for native oyster restoration. These funds supported grading, transport, and placement of the alternative material to create a three-dimensional oyster reef.",
