The goal is to place 1,000 oyster cages at piers by the end of October, with four cages per pier. There is no charge for those who participate in this 2008 pilot project, but there are rewards both personal and ecological.

The Marylanders Grow Oysters Project was established by Martin O’Malley, Governor, and is being managed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources in conjunction with Talbot County, the Oyster Recovery Partnership, the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and the Maryland Department of Corrections.
