Why arent the oysters scraped off of the sea walls?
A6. According to NC Fish and Wildlife regulations, if you scrape oysters from the wall and they fall to the bottom of the marina, the entire area becomes an oyster bed. In this event, we may be severely limited from future dredging to these areas within the marina. In truth, the oysters are considered to be a stabilizing force on the sea walls and provide a great environmental asset towards the cleansing of the waters within the marina.
