May 8, 2005. Sag Harbor, New York. There are 'Waterway Beautificaton Projects' in many coastal and river cities. In Wilmington we add a few waterways each year to our beautification project which originally was funded by the state. It enhances property while making the waterways a pleasure to navigate. It stops erosion and encourages econo-systems. There is currently a project we are waiting for legislation to pass permitting Wilmington Waterways to host native oysters in caged beds suspended under boat docks. This is to allow native osyters to breed in home waters and spread their young to the open waters while the breeding sets stay together under the docks for year after year. There is little maintenance except to be sure they have free flowing water through their nesting cage.
