Default Re: Oysters in Raritan Bay

I guess two themes here. Food versus function.

There were many private oyster farms on the Hudson River in Edgewater about a 100 years ago.

The Hackensack River Keeper has been a proponent of seeding the Hackensack River above Jersey City. But state is afraid they will be consumed. I'm not sure how people will actually rake them. The boat traffic on that river is like a tumble weed in a western town circa 1890. LOL
