Each one of these amazing bivalves can filter pollutants out of up to 50 gallons of water per day. Unfortunately, they are at just one percent of their historic population in the Chesapeake Bay. Oysters are a keystone species. Without a healthy oyster population, it is nearly impossible to <a href=\"https:\/\/waterkeeperschesapeake.org\/projects\/chesapeake-bay-tmdl\/\">restore the health of the Bay<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Waterkeepers on both shores of the Chesapeake Bay are seeking public policy that balances the needs of restoration with commercial fishery interests.\u00a0Even with information gleaned from a five-year Oyster Advisory Commission study\u2014 and a requirement from the General Assembly (in the form of 2016 legislation) \u2014 to follow the science on oyster fisheries management, the commission responsible for managing oysters and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources have been unfairly tipping the scales toward industry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-heading su-heading-style-default su-heading-align-center\" id=\"\" style=\"font-size:28px;margin-bottom:10px\"><div class=\"su-heading-inner\">Latest Posts<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-wrapper\"><div class=\"pt-cv-view pt-cv-grid pt-cv-colsys pt-cv-same-height pt-cv-pgregular\" id=\"pt-cv-view-20eaad6jsn\"><div data-id=\"pt-cv-page-1\" class=\"pt-cv-page\" data-cvc=\"1\" data-cvct=\"2\" data-cvcm=\"1\"><div class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\"  data-pid=\"22991\"><div class='pt-cv-ifield'><a href=\"https:\/\/waterkeeperschesapeake.org\/es\/legal-victory-puts-hellbender-back-on-track-for-endangered-species-protection\/\" class=\"_self pt-cv-href-thumbnail pt-cv-thumb-left cvplbd cvp-responsive-image img-none\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"150\" data-ih=\"150\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/waterkeeperschesapeake.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Hellbender-legal-victory-3-150x150.png\" class=\"pt-cv-thumbnail img-none pull-left skip-lazy \" alt=\"Legal Victory Puts Hellbender Back on Track for Endangered Species Protection\" \/><\/a>\n<h4 class=\"pt-cv-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/waterkeeperschesapeake.org\/es\/legal-victory-puts-hellbender-back-on-track-for-endangered-species-protection\/\" class=\"_self cvplbd\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"150\" data-ih=\"150\">Legal Victory Puts Hellbender Back on Track for Endangered Species Protection<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">In response to a lawsuit filed by five conservation groups, a federal judge found today that the U.S. Fish and ...<br \/><div class=\"pt-cv-rmwrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/waterkeeperschesapeake.org\/es\/legal-victory-puts-hellbender-back-on-track-for-endangered-species-protection\/\" class=\"_self pt-cv-readmore btn btn-success cvplbd\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"150\" data-ih=\"150\">Read More<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\"  data-pid=\"6844\"><div class='pt-cv-ifield'><a href=\"https:\/\/waterkeeperschesapeake.org\/es\/eastern-hellbender-in-need-of-understanding-protection\/\" class=\"_self pt-cv-href-thumbnail pt-cv-thumb-left cvplbd cvp-responsive-image img-none\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"150\" data-ih=\"150\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/waterkeeperschesapeake.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20210828-084609-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"pt-cv-thumbnail img-none pull-left skip-lazy \" alt=\"Eastern Hellbender: In Need of Understanding &amp; Protection\" \/><\/a>\n<h4 class=\"pt-cv-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/waterkeeperschesapeake.org\/es\/eastern-hellbender-in-need-of-understanding-protection\/\" class=\"_self cvplbd\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"150\" data-ih=\"150\">Eastern Hellbender: In Need of Understanding &#038; Protection<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">Photo by Michael Kinney, 2017 in the Loyalsock Creek, a tributary of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.
