Recent efforts by the NC DMF and their academic and nonprofit conservation partners to restore oyster populations resulted in the construction of 12 (to date) subtidal no-take oyster reserves spread geographically throughout
Pamlico Sound, each on the scale of hectares (1-5 ha) in size.
These regions were the following: 1) eastern
Pamlico Sound and the adjacent coastal waters (EPS; the outer banks from the Virginia state line to Cape Lookout), 2) western
Pamlico Sound (WPS; waters near mainland areas of northern North Carolina), 3) Neuse and Pamlico rivers (NPR), and 4) waters of southern North Carolina (SNC; Cape Lookout southward, including estuaries and coastal waters).

The survey samples were collected in shallow-water areas of the
Pamlico Sound system in North Carolina and waters south to the North Carolina-South Carolina border.
