Stewardship Session: Shell Bag Assembly
Help our Aquaculture Coordinator create bags of oyster shells for our spat-on-shell oyster reef restoration projects!
This volunteer opportunity will entail: cutting and tying mesh to create bags; shoveling cured shell into the bags; neatly stacking bags off to the side. Gloves can be provided, but we encourage you to bring your own. Expect to get mildly wet and/or dirty, depending on conditions.
