Restoring the Oyster Ecosystem in Urban Waters
While eastern oysters have been a bedrock of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary, their numbers have continued to decline due to pollution and overharvesting. Chester Zarnoch, PhD, professor of natural sciences at the Weissman School, and a team of researchers are studying how water quality and other conditions in rivers may affect oysters’ reproductive health.
