Oyster Shell Bar Projects

This event is no longer on sale.

Friday March 31

9:00 AM  –  12:00 PM

 

Tampa Bay Watch is recruiting volunteers to create an oyster reef on the shoreline of 2D Island. The project meeting location is Williams Park, 9425 US Hwy 41, Riverview, FL 33578. ​

The project involves shoveling fossilized shell into mesh bags, transporting the bags via boat and placing them on the shoreline to create a series of oyster bars. This project is an effort to restore lost habitat systems to the bay, prevent further erosion of the shoreline and improve water quality through natural biological filtration.
