Hydrodynamic and oyster larval transport modeling to plan restoration in Maryland’s Herring Bay Sanctuary
USACE Baltimore and Maryland DNR plan to fund research that uses hydrodynamic models linked with oyster larval models to map larval transport, identify source and sink reefs, and support a phased restoration plan for the Herring Bay Sanctuary. The study will estimate self-sustaining and connected reef dynamics, including where larvae originate from to strengthen connectivity with other restora…
