Yea I agree I never heard that high salinity hurt oysters because west cove has always been thick and we have a few deep reefs in channel that are full of oysters
I think the problem we have on east side of ship channel and behind old jetties is settlement from dredging and erosion depositing on reefs and smothering them out . Crabbers have 2inchs of slit in traps some days along wash out and 9 mile
This this is more of our problem than salinity
