| Description | VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Teachers in the Hampton Roads area are learning about oyster gardening, including building oyster floats. Each float is made using eight pieces of PVC, primer, glue, a mesh bag, and 1, 000 baby oysters, or spat. Employees from the Norfolk District partnered with Jessica Grell's fourth grade class from Seatack Elementary School in Virginia Beach to start a sanctuary oyster reef along the shores of Norfolk District's property. Laurie Sorabella, with Oyster Reef Keepers of Virginia explains the decline in the oyster population has been a result of over-harvesting and disease. The current oyster population in the Chesapeake Bay is less than 1 percent of its population when John Smith came to Virginia in the early 17th century and described oysters that were as “big as dinner plates.” Norfolk District; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is partnering with local schools to build a sanctuary oyster reef along the shores of the district's property, which will help clean the water in the Elizabeth River.
