Layer: Oyster Protected Areas (ID: 76)

Parent Layer: Oyster

Name: Oyster Protected Areas

Display Field: CLOSNAME

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: This layer presents information on the thirteen oyster sanctuaries in the Choptank as well as the two reserves, represented as polygons. According to MD DNR, “sanctuaries are areas where the wild harvest of oysters is prohibited”. Sanctuaries were classified into two time periods, before and after September 2010, due to the designation of many of them at that time. These areas are described in a 2010 report from the Maryland DNR titled “Oyster Sanctuaries of the Chesapeake Bay and its Tidal Tributaries”. Oyster sanctuaries are considered permanently closed to shellfish harvest, and often contain oyster restoration projects to help enhance oyster populations for their environmental benefits. Reserves are areas where populations are enhanced, and may be opened periodically if certain criteria are met. State-wide versions of these layers are available from Maryland’s Mapping and GIS Data Portal (MD iMAP) as “Maryland Shellfish – Oyster Sanctuaries” and “Oyster Harvesting Reserves”.
