🦪 Our grantee @OysterProjectMA collects & recycles thousands of pounds of oyster shells from restaurants each year to restore oyster reefs around Chipman’s Harbor in Wellfleet, MA.
One oyster can filter about 50 gallons a day! #waterquality

Over the course of 4 days earlier this spring, a team of Mass Oyster volunteers put over 37,000 pounds of recycled oyster shells from last summer to good use, filling over 350 mesh bags to provide habitat for oysters in Wellfleet Harbor! massoyster.org/blog/2023/5/2…

Oyster reefs create wildlife habitat, improve water quality, and protect coastlines. But this essential habitat has declined 85% over the last 150 years.
The good news? Farmed oysters can help restore reefs and the benefits they provide. nature.ly/3YgTtC0
