Oyster Restoration

Volunteers can help bag oyster shells that are used to build reefs, relay oyster bags, seed oyster reefs and monitor established reefs. Oyster Restoration events occur along the coast throughout the year.

Shoreline and oyster restoration days are dependent on the weather, tides and the completion of site preparation. We alert volunteers to coming projects and call with specific assignments three to five days in advance.
