ANNAPOLIS, MD (March 10, 2025) ~ Annapolis, MD - The Maryland Department of Agriculture's Maryland's Best program, in collaboration with the Oyster Recovery Partnership (ORP), has announced the upcoming Chesapeake Oyster Week. This celebration of Maryland oysters will take place from March 21-31 and will feature deals and discounts at participating restaurants.
Seafood lovers can look forward to indulging in their favorite shellfish while also supporting the mission to restore the Chesapeake Bay and its native oyster populations. According to Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Kevin Atticks, "We are excited to have a Chesapeake Oyster Week that specifically focuses on Maryland oysters. In addition to being a great source of protein, eating oysters at restaurants that recycle shells also helps plant more new oysters in the Bay, providing a sustainable cycle for seafood."

The ORP relies on Shell Recycling Alliance member restaurants to provide shells critical for Chesapeake Bay oyster restoration efforts. By dining at these shell-recycling restaurants during Chesapeake Oyster Week, patrons can show their appreciation for businesses that are environmentally friendly and support the restoration of the Bay.
Paul Schurick, Director of ORP Partnerships, explains that this event is perfectly timed during Maryland's wild-caught oyster season when "our waters produce some of the finest oysters in the country." He emphasizes the importance of supporting local industries by choosing to eat local oysters at shell-recycling restaurants. "Maryland oysters are a vital part of the Bay's ecosystem and economy," says Schurick. "Choosing to eat local oysters at shell-recycling restaurants is a simple way for people to support these industries while also helping to restore the Bay - one shuck at a time."
