I don't buy that atmospheric carbon dioxide is a big problem, so I do not see carbon sequestration as a big benefit. But lots of environmental types do, and as long as we're advocating oyster reef restoration, why not include benefits that lots of environmental types think are very important?

I gotcha. U just copied and pasted some of the known oyster benefits. Carbon sequestration or whatever is a crock. My neighbor is a big liberal and talks about this all the time
