  "projectDescription": "NOAA’s Community-based Restoration Program established an oyster bar with a sufficient population of oysters to demonstrate an improvement in water quality within the small, narrow entranced creek of South River, Maryland. Based on the idea that oyster abundance was historically high enough that they could actually control the water quality within a system by their filtration rates, this “fish tank” exercise has been scaled up to a tributary-level.",
