A perfectly good question, it says so right in the article:
>The governor announced in a Board of Public Works meeting that $13.7 million in Capital Grants funding and a $9.1 million contract for the non-profit Oyster Recovery Partnership had been awarded. The funds are said to foster essential capital projects for museums, community centers, medical and athletic facilities, community revitalization, and historical buildings.
>...
>The Oyster Recovery Partnership is a non-profit organization that collects recycled shell and plants hatchery-reared oysters for reef construction in Maryland’s large-scale oyster restoration tributaries. The funding will support efforts to enhance native oyster populations. It will also help meet the goals of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement of 2014, as well as Maryland’s Oyster Restoration and Aquaculture Development Plan.
>...
>In addition, the board also approved $1 million for the Department of Natural Resources to conduct surveys to identify oyster habitats and plant hatchery-reared oysters on reefs in the Eastern Bay sanctuaries of the Chesapeake Bay.
