What the grant funds
USACE intends to enter into a Cooperative Agreement to monitor oyster reefs constructed by USACE in the Chesapeake Bay. The monitoring will determine the status and condition of oyster populations on the reefs.

Additionally, status monitoring of sites in the Severn River and Cook Point Sanctuary (Choptank River) are planned. Two types of monitoring are to be completed across the seven-year period: 1) post-construction monitoring and (3 and 6 year surveys), and 2) sentinel site monitoring on alternate substrate sites in the Tred Avon River.
