Oyster aquaculture in Maryland has changed more in the past decade than it has in the past two centuries. Aquaculture, like agriculture, is a form of farming, but farming oysters requires space not on the land but along the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay - and that space, until recently, was hard to come by in Maryland. Chesapeake Quarterly, Maryland Sea Grant's quarterly magazine, reports on research, extension, education and other Chesapeake Bay issues and activities of interest to the marine community. It is produced and funded by this program, which receives support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Editors, Michael W.
Fincham and Jeffrey Brainard; Science Writer, Daniel Pendick; Production Editor and Art Director, Sandy Rodgers.

By Christmas he was thinking about quitting.

In 1882 Maryland's governor, William T. Hamilton, was worried about a drop in the annual harvest of oysters that Maryland watermen were dredging and tonging off the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay. His response was to appoint an Oyster Commission to study the industry and make recommendations about how to save it. Commercial harvests had slumped to only 10 million bushels in 1880. That's a bonanza by today's standards, but at the time it was considered a great disappointment.
