More Oyster Bagging Event

I wanted to share some pictures and information about the oyster bagging event that took place on October 12th.
The oyster bagging event is an important step towards the stabilization of the shoreline. Oyster shells are lined up and remain in quarantine until they are ready to be bagged by volunteers and taken to the restoration site. These bags are the material for the artificial reefs that intend to slow down the erosion in the shore of Tolomato River.
Volunteers are always needed for these events. There were several groups of people participating. It is wonderful to see that people care and want to work hard.

About 500 bags were done at this event
