Florida wildlife officials consider reopening bay nationally known for its oysters

Washington Post4 days ago
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida wildlife officials have given preliminary approval to a plan to reopen Apalachicola Bay for oyster harvesting, five years after the waters were closed due to dwindling shellfish populations.
The closure of the bay along what's known as Florida's 'Forgotten Coast' dealt a blow to an area that historically produced 90% of the state's oysters and 10% of the nation's.
