SUMMARY:Shell Bagging
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMake a difference during Seafood Month by joining staff from our Shellfish Research Lab to bag recycled oyster shells that’ll be used to create new oyster reefs along our coast. \n\n\n\nReturning oyster shell to our estuaries allows for new oysters to settle and grow\, creating thriving reefs that provide habitat for a variety of organisms\, including popular recreational and commercial fish species. Oyster reefs also help stabilize shorelines and improve water quality by filtering pollutants. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Shell bagging is a strenuous activity involving shoveling\, repetitive bending down\, and other physical activity. Volunteers must be 18 years or older to participate. Registration is required.  \n\n\n\nIf you have questions\, contact Tom Bliss at tbliss@uga.edu or call 912-598-2393. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOctober is National Seafood Month\, and we’re providing seafood programming for a variety of audiences all month long!
