To clarify, I am not against harvesting. I just believe they should be given the proper amount of time to reproduce and become plentiful. It would be hard for them to get a foothold in the bay nowadays with people harvesting a bunch before that point.
If we could grow our oyster population to become as plentiful as they once were we could open a whole new economic opportunity for fisherman, however we should give them a chance before we swoop in and take them all.
