Researchers from Morgan State University’s Patuxent Environmental and Aquatic Research Laboratory (PEARL) joined the Morgan News Hour to discuss the ecological and economic benefits of oyster reef and submerged aquatic vegetation restoration in the Chesapeake Bay.
Scott Knoche and Thomas Ihde outlined key findings, emphasized the strength of PEARL’s partnerships with NOAA and other organizations, which provide critical data and support, and the vital role of community involvement in advancing the restoration work.
