    Lineage The team will begin by determining the type and extent of benefits delivered by three distinct oyster cultivation practices – restored oyster reefs, traditional shell plantings, and off-bottom oyster farms – and assign a monetary value to both their market and non-market benefits. They will then develop budgets of construction and maintenance costs for restored reefs, plantings, and farms. Finally, the team will work in conjunction with the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources to develop and test a decision support tool that directs the user through multiple criteria to select the portfolio of oyster cultivation practices that minimizes downside risk while maximizing benefits.
