It details the restoration site selection process, and describes the reef construction, seeding and monitoring required to bring the Piankatank River in line with the oyster metrics definition of a successfully restored tributary. It includes a map of restorable areas, a needs analysis for oyster seed and substrate, and a cost analysis for seed, substrate and monitoring.
