We believe the oyster stock assessments in the figure (data from LDWF) are accurate, showing over 1 million in 2003 and about 100,000 now. We've reviewed the LDWF sampling methods, and they both seem to be sound are are among the most careful oyster stock assessment sampling methods around. We also note that the LDWF oyster numbers are well correlated with other environmental variables that one would expect them to be well correlated with based on the ecosystem services and other interrelated habitat issues.
