Students at St. Stanislaus High School in Mississippi are among the volunteers along U.S. coasts raising oysters to help restore, or repair, weakened reefs.
BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. (AP) It’s time to agitate the oysters at St. Stanislaus High School on Mississippi's Gulf coast. Students on a platform below the school’s long pier gently shake their oyster garden's wire cages as they pull them from the water, loosening mud and algae that might keep water and nutrients from baby oysters clinging to those shells.
