Chesapeake Research Consortium’s (CRC) Kevin Sellner was asked to attend a NOAA-sponsored Virginia Oyster Restoration Review workshop, assist Mr. Bill Goldsborough (Chesapeake Bay Foundation) in meeting facilitation, record comments, and derive a summary of the workshop’s presentations and open discussions. Ms. Paula Jasinski, NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office-VIMS, organized the workshop, identifying key Virginia participants from those restoring, monitoring, and managing the native oysters of Virginia. The workshop was convened at the Alumni House, William & Mary College, on March 31, 2010. The summary reflects the author’s recorded comments and presentation highlights, expanded in some cases from monitoring details received prior to the workshop. This workshop was an important initial step in developing a coordinated, consensus-derived Virginia restoration and monitoring strategy now moving forward through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ development of a Native Oyster Restoration Plan, a NOAA-led Federal agency response to the Presidential Executive Order of 2009, Virginia’s Marine Resource Commission 2010 harvest area restoration strategy, NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office Benthic Assessment Program, and the individual efforts of several organizations including Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Foundation office, The Nature Conservancy, and VIMS’ Mann research laboratory, Lipcius laboratory, and Wachapreague Laboratory.
