EDGEWATER, MD — Conservationists are trying something new near Edgewater to help save the shoreline. Reef balls have been strategically placed along the shoreline where baby oysters living along them have been tasked with taking on a big job. "We're not only protecting a community asset from the wave and wake action that's been eroding this bluff at a very rapid rate, but we're also restoring habitat by bringing oysters back in closer to shore," Kevin Green, the interim executive director of the Arundel Rivers Federation, told <a href="https://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2019/08/22/shellfish-shoreline-restoration-edgewater/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">WJZ</a>. Conservationists hope to revert the current shoreline to how it looked 300 years ago. By replicating the oyster reefs that existed back then that naturally filtered the water, they anticipate breathing new life back into the area.
