Overview

Nearly 20 years ago the Oyster Recovery Partnership was commissioned as a cooperative coalition of multiple partners that contribute to a large scale restoration program to plant disease free oysters back into the Chesapeake Bay. As a result of this successful partnership nearly 4 billion oysters have been planted on 1500 acres of oyster reefs and nearly 30000 bushels of shell have been recycled to provide homes for new oysters. As Maryland s leading nonprofit restoring oysters in the Bay the ORP also operates the region s Shell Recycling Alliance supports the state s Marylanders Grow Oysters program and provides shellfish aquaculture and fishery support services.
