Marylanders Grow Oysters
A program puts oysters under docks to help filter the water
Oysters help clean water, with each individual shellfish being able to filter up to 50 gallons a day. The Marylanders Grow Oysters program helps shoreline properties harness this filtering power by growing oysters underneath their docks.
Kevin Haigis of Capital SUP in Annapolis, Md., talks about the program.
