  "projectDescription": "The goal of this project was to restore ~ 1 acre of native oyster habitat in a manner compatible with a native eelgrass beds at Belfair State Park in the Hood Canal. Based on historical evidence, native oysters (Ostrea lurida) reached some of their highest abundances in the Hood Canal region near the modern town of Belfair, in what is now a native eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadow. Few oysters are currently present, and interest in oyster restoration at this site spans state, tribal, and non-government entities. This project set out to compare two oyster restoration techniques (juvenile seeding via spat on shell, and via single oysters) for their success in generating stable or increasing oyster populations. The project also examine reciprocal interactions between native oysters and eelgrass and measured the response of native eelgrass in terms of density, size, growth, and tissue chemistry.",
