Video Title:
Oyster Reef Restoration: Choptank River, Md.
Description:
Chesapeake Bay is the focus of one of the world’s largest oyster reef restoration efforts. The Fish and Invertebrate Ecology Lab at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) has been studying how fish and crabs are using these new reefs. In addition to their work using Dual-Frequency Imaging Sonar (a.k.a DIDSON, an underwater sonar camera) to study these fish and crab communities, videos using GoPro cameras have allowed researchers to assess the quality of the reef habitats. In this video, you can see some footage from various good quality oyster reef restoration sites in Harris Creek.
