Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley outlined a three-step plan Thursday to revive the Chesapeake Bay's native oyster population, which has languished for years at just 1 percent of historic numbers. The governor, saying a new restoration strategy is long overdue, pointed out that a combined $39 million investment by state and federal governments has been made between 1994 and 2007, with no improvement to oyster numbers.
