About the event
CHEC is leading educational workshops that provide discussions regarding the importance of our harbor, the challenges it faces, and what we can do to help. Join us as we lead participants in creating their very own vertical oyster gardens made from shells recycled from local restuarants. These gardens will hang off docks, in hopes of colonizing oyster spat. The oyster strands may be collected and added to an existing oyster reef in Charlotte Harbor or at select locations around town. This event is part of the Earth Day 2025 initiative.
