Fox News
Potomac River sewage spill continues to devastate the oyster industry as buyers refuse shellfish despite officials saying water quality is improved after 240-million-gallon wastewater release.
Deirdre Bardolf is a lifestyle writer with Fox News Digital.
"It has devastated our market," Robert T. Brown, president of the Maryland Watermen's Association, told WTOP News. "The people who shuck the oysters and stuff and ship them to different states don't want [any] oysters coming out of the Potomac because they [are] afraid of what it may be."
