Happy #OysterWeek! 🦪

DYK? - A single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day, making them a critical tool for meeting pollution reduction goals. 

@repjenkiggans (R-VA) and @repaoc (D-NY) recently introduced the Oyster Reef Recovery Act (H.R. 9705) in the U.S. House of Representatives. This bill would direct NOAA to establish a competitive grant program to encourage research on the conservation of oyster reefs. Oyster reefs are critical for our coasts due to their ability to filter pollution, protect shorelines from erosion, and create habitats for forage and game fish.
