For nearly two decades, a diverse group of people involved in growing, harvesting, studying, managing and eating oysters have worked together to protect and restore N.C.’s oyster habitats and fishery.
The fourth edition of The Oyster Restoration and Protection Plan for North Carolina: A Blueprint for Action 2021-2025 provides current and future stakeholders with cohesive direction and guidance that allows them to come together as a united force to implement oyster restoration, protection, harvest and education strategies to produce tangible benefits for the environment and economy.
This Blueprint builds off of earlier accomplishments. It incorporates the latest science to enhance and improve upon past practices and initiatives.
