Senator Cardin Wants More Oyster Farms In Chesapeake Bay

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — There is a state lab on the Eastern Shore helping to bring the oysters back to the bay.

As Mike Schuh reports, Senator Ben Cardin invited those who can open up the bay to more oyster farms to those who want to grow them.

There are two kinds of oysters coming out of the bay. One’s caught from a boat by watermen with long tongs; there are also those grown in cages, dropped in areas leased to oyster farmers by the state and Coast Guard.
