The Oyster Recovery Partnership conducted surveys of our oyster grounds. Using state of the art technology, ORP determined what shell was on the lease and which areas are ripe for planting. Oysters do well in hard, stable bottoms that ensure the oysters do not sink into the mud or sand. ORP also provided Patuxent River Seafood with a tracker to map where we recover shell and plant shell and oyster spat.

In 2023 the Patuxent River had a record breaking spatfall for oysters. To aid in the resurgence of oysters, Patuxent River Seafood is planting 25 acres in the Patuxent River. The plan is to jumpstart the area by recovering silted shell, adding shell, and planting oysters. The oysters will serve ecological functions including filtering nitrogen and phosphorus until they are marketable.
