Oyster Reefs
Forty thousand seed oysters were placed on barged-in shell at the mouth of Paradise Creek. Residents of the Craddock neighborhood, including Boy Scout Troop 222, grew  oysters in floats to be added later that summer. Two oyster workshops were held to further involve the community and other members of the public. The project was funded with $75,000 from NOAA, Fish America, the Chesapeake Bay Program and other sponsors.
