💨 Abstract

A heat advisory is in effect for the D.C. region, with expected heat index values up to 108 degrees. The Chesapeake Bay Program is ahead of schedule in restoring oyster habitats to 10 tidal rivers across Maryland and Virginia due to comprehensive, multi-state efforts to repopulate and reconstruct reefs, currently exceeding their goal by one river. The initiative plantes thousands of acres of oyster reef, crucial for water filtration and ecosystem support.
