Col. Ed Chamberlayne, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District commander, speaks at an event to mark completion of the initial construction phase for the Harris Creek oyster restoration project, aboard the Rebecca T. Ruark, Tilghman Island, Md., Sept. 15, 2015. Harris Creek is one of the world's largest oyster restoration projects, and the interagency team has restored more than 350 acres of oyster reef habitat through reef construction and seeding. Since restoration efforts started, areas with less than one oyster per square meter now have upward of 25 oysters per square meter. The team will continue to monitor the site to ensure their efforts are working and will also continue to consult with scientific, academic and oyster restoration experts to ensure environmentally-sound and cost-effective efforts into the future. The Corps is leading similar interagency restoration efforts in the Tred Avon and Little Choptank rivers. The goal is to restore 10 Chesapeake Bay tributaries by 2025.
