  "projectDescription": "This project restored oyster reefs on The Nature Conservancy and public lands in areas close to ongoing Virginia Coastal Program reef and eelgrass restoration areas.  This project also used The Nature Conservancy citizen volunteer network to develop a program to harvest eelgrass reproductive shoots.these shoots to obtain seeds, and to plant eelgrass seeds to augment the restoration efforts in the coastal bays.  Lastly, VMRC will use local aquaculturists to develop techniques to grow and reintroduce bay scallops in Virginia's coastal bays.",
