I doubt these oyster reefs will be one continuous out-of-water reef. Raising depths from 8-9ft to 3-4ft will drastically help in breaking wave action. As an old timer, all they are doing is replacing the shells reefs that were dredged from marsh island to coon point. Also, years back the Dry reef area from the Hammick to the wells would become visible in hard low tides/strong Northerly winds. At one time that was all land. Again they're replacing what has been destroyed in the bay. I'm all for it, along with replacing the 10ft water mark rock dam (water ceases to flow once the river hits 10ft.) in wax lake canal.
