Asian Oysters? Science or Politics?
February 6th, 2009 | 
Author: The Chesapeake Bay Foundation today notified their followers on Twitter that the State of Virginia is considering introducing non-native Asian oysters to the Chesapeake Bay. The CBF is concerned because they believe introducing foreign oysters will do more harm than good, “
“Despite all of the scientific evidence that non-native oysters may cause more harm to our Chesapeake Bay oyster population, the Virginia Senate is proposing a resolution to support the Asian oyster introduction. Should decisions like this be driven by science or politics?”
Certainly worth a look see if it would do eventual harm to our part of the Chesapeake.
