Cedar Key oyster restoration project shows growth after three months

An oyster restoration effort at Corrigan’s Reef near Cedar Key is already producing visible results, with young oysters attaching to limestone dropped across a 2.6-acre section of the reef since July. The Oyster Rocks Project, funded by a $2 million federal RESTORE Act grant awarded to the Cedar Key Oystermen’s Association, used 63 boats to rebuild the reef’s substrate so oysters can once again take hold.
