  "projectDescription": "NOAA Fisheries and the FishAmerica Foundation joined with the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and the Rotary Club of Norfolk to continue oyster reef habitat restoration in the heart of the City of Norfolk, where  remnant oyster populations still exist in the Lafayette River. Oyster shells were purchased and transported by barge, and moved onto a reef structure. Through a program coordinated by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, hatchery-produced seed oysters were grown by middle and high school students in floating cages throughout the River.",
