Response to peer review[edit]

Thank you for providing my group and I with great feedback. We will take into account that you wanted us to include information about historically under represented and economically challenged areas. We think that this will strengthen our article content. We are a bit confused as to how to make our article seem less biased because you mentioned that there is an emphasis on the positive impacts of oyster restoration. We want to bring to light how restoring oysters is beneficial but also have a neutral tone throughout our article. It was very useful the advice you gave back to us, we appreciate it!!!
