Special | 5m 24sVideo has Closed Captions

Researchers discover natural oyster reefs grow fast enough to keep up with the projected rise in sea levels. That suggests oyster reefs could be used for storm protection and erosion control, all the while doing what oyster reefs naturally do, which is filter the water and provide a habitat for fish.
