Chesapeake Bay Foundation restoration boat crew volunteers Lloyd Lewis, of Mayo, left, and Ron Tate, of Mayo, right, look through more than three million baby oysters before they were distributed on the Severn River in Annapolis on Thursday October 23, 2008 over recycled concrete from a re-decking project on the Bay Bridge to create the three -acre Asquith Creek Reef. According to a release from the Chesabeake Bay Foundation, old oyster shells serve as the traditional foundation when creating such a reef but the insufficient amounts of shells that exist threaten the restoration of the oyster population.
