Update Oyster Restoration in Apalachicola Bay with Devin Resko, FWC and Dr. Sandra Brooke

Apalachicola Bay’s oyster industry thrived for over a century but experienced a significant collapse in 2012. Despite various restoration efforts, oyster populations have not yet recovered. Florida State University is examining the causes of the collapse, identifying obstacles to recovery, and exploring strategies to restore -a healthy Bay ecosystem and a sustainable oyster fishery. Dr. Sandra Brooke will provide an update on the progress of this initiative and share key findings from their research. Devin Resko from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) will discuss FWC’s efforts to restore the oyster reefs in the Bay benefiting both the oyster populations and the Bay. He will highlight efforts from the recently completed pilot study. To register go to: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3927362518999396696
