We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with LISC & Resilient Ribault to educate our community about the incredible benefits of oyster recycling. Together, we’ll raise awareness on how recycled oysters can play a crucial role in flood prevention, hurricane protection, and water filtration. By reusing oyster shells to restore reefs, we can help protect our coastlines, improve water quality, and create healthier ecosystems. Stay tuned for upcoming events and opportunities to get involved in this important initiative! 

• A single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day, and a 1-acre oyster reef can filter 24 million gallons of water per day. They improve water quality and clarity by removing algae, organic matter, and excess nutrients.

• Oyster reefs create habitat for hundreds of aquatic species, including commercially and recreationally valuable fish species.

• Oysters capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

• Oyster reefs are natural buffers against coastal erosion and storm surges. As oyster shells cluster, they reduce wave energy and help protect shorelines from the full force of storms.
