Chesapeake Bay Environmental Model Package
• A coupled system of watershed, hydrodynamic and eutrophication models
• The same package used for the 2002 load allocations
• The same package used for the 2004 native oyster study

Key Assumptions and Properties
• The model is run for 10 years, 1985-1994, on a grid of 3000 surface elements (~4 km2) using time steps of 15 minutes
• Oysters are restricted to their historical spatial distribution
• The model is parameterized for Chesapeake Bay native oysters

Key Assumptions and Properties
• A spatially-uniform mortality rate is specified that combines effects of predation, disease, and harvest
• Oyster biomass is dynamically computed based on local conditions including food availability, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and suspended solids

Conclusions
• Our results are consistent with alternate investigations including Officer et al. 1982, Gerritsen et al. 1994, and Newell&Koch 2004.
• The greatest ecosystem service of feasible oyster restoration appears to be SAV restoration.
• Other ecosystem services provided by oysters include nitrogen removal and dissolved oxygen enhancement.

Conclusions
• Oysters have larger impact on their local environment than system-wide
• We recommend restoration target specific areas with suitable environments. Look for improvements on similar scales.

Criteria for benthic control of phytoplankton (Officer et al. 1982)
• Shallow water depths (2 to 10m)
• A large and widespread population as opposed to more localized regions
• Partially-enclosed regions with poor hydrodynamic exchange with adjacent water bodies

Suspension-feeding bivalve model … applied to Chesapeake Bay (Gerritsen et al. 1994)
• Existing bivalves consume more than 50% of primary production in shallow freshwater and oligohaline reaches
• In deep mesohaline portions, bivalves consume only 10% of primary production
• Use of bivalves to improve water quality of large estuaries will be limited by the depth and width of the estuary

Modeling seagrass density in response to … bivalve filtration (Newell & Koch)
• The presence of modest levels of oysters (< 12 g C/sq m) reduced suspended sediment concentrations by an order of magnitude
