I have recently revamped and increased capacity for our oyster shell recycling program where we recycle clean dead oyster shells from local restaurants. We cure them in the sun in an outdoor storage facility for a year, and then we will use them to construct oyster beds when we begin our new living shorelines restoration project. In just under 2 months, we have recycled 750 lbs of oyster shells from our local restaurant partners! Really excited for this program to keep increasing capacity and recycle more oyster shells, keeping them out of the landfill and used to restore our marine ecosystems!
