Environmentalists begin oyster restoration effort in Marin County on San Francisco Bay to restore the long-lost oyster reef habitat and clean the bay water. Environmentalists say a single oyster can clean up to 30 gallons of water a day by removing nitrogen and other pollutants. The man-made reefs which are used to create the new oyster growing habitat are made of mesh bags filled with discarded oyster shells provided at no cost by The Drakes Bay Oyster Company.
