Mike Rowe visits Mutt Meritt and Stephanie Alexander at Horn Point's oyster hatchery for a segment on his show "Somebodoy's Gotta Do It."

The oyster culture facility at Horn Point Laboratory has been gaining national attention for its work to grow oyster for Chesapeake Bay restoration. Kudos to Hatchery Manager Mutt Meritt and his team, who were featured on Mike Rowe's Somebody's Gotta Do It on CNN, as well as a National Geographic feature on oyster gardening and a hope for a cleaner Bay.
