    The goal is increased water quality simply because it's our backyard. For decades, the #LynnhavenRiver had been impaired to a point in which oysters and other fish caught in certain parts of the estuary were not fit for consumption. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Virginia Beach city leadership, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and groups like Lynnhaven River NOW, water quality in this area has been on the rise.

    In this video, Norm Lyster, the Broad Bay Civic League President in Virginia Beach and USACE - Norfolk District biologist Peyton Mowery discuss the Lynnhaven River Basin Ecosystem Restoration Project and how the different parts of the project work synergistically to enhance the health of the river for all people who use it.

    In addition to the ongoing submerged aquatic vegetation and wetland restoration projects, USACE is currently working to add second oyster reef to the Broad Bay Area to ensure continued water quality improvements.
