About the event
Welcome to our FREE VoG event. Oysters are excellent water filters, with one oyster filtering 50 gallons of water per day. The more oysters there are in the harbor, the better the water quality becomes. Dredging, pollution, and development have eliminated the hard structures needed for oyster colonization. Creating oyster gardens provides these necessary structures, creates larger reefs, and improves water quality. Learn how to create your very own vertical oyster garden made from shells recycled from local restaurants. Registration is limited to 25 persons, so be sure to sign up today! We hope to see you there.....
