## Resource

Alabama’s oyster reefs are in crisis, with harvest seasons pushed back to November due to stubbornly low populations—blamed on spring floods and possibly dredging that smothers larvae. After a decade of minimal recovery, conservationists and harvesters are frustrated by stalled restoration efforts, while agencies push for collaboration to turn things around before the next season.
