If it fails the first time for good and obvious reasons, do it again with more money the same way.

Anyone know why the Army Corps of Engineers is involved in this, or what legislation is funding this?

I very surprised that the governmaent didn't just rename this The Skate Enhancement Program and celebrate it as an unqualified success.

'O Oysters,' said the Carpenter,
'You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none --
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

“We didn’t really know anything about the cow-nosed ray,” said Doug Martin , project manager for the Army Corps of Engineers in Norfolk, lead agency for the multimillion-dollar oyster initiative.

Well, Dougie, you know one thing now: cow-nosed rays really think baby oysters are tasty morsels.

“I hope people don’t come away from this saying, 'Well, all we’re doing with all this money is feeding cow-nosed rays,’ ” he said.

Perhaps Mr. Brumbaugh would care, then to elaborate on exactly what they were doing. Sounds like 78K of chum, to me.

Coast Oyster Co farms oysters here on Humboldt Bay on a large scale. The ray problem was so bad they had to go to raising them on lines suspended from racks.
