Be a part of habitat restoration in the lagoon - lend a helping hand as we create biodegradable oyster (BESE) mats! Sign up to volunteer today at https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/marinediscoverycenter/items/523342/?full-items=yes&flow=1105333
Volunteers will be threading recycled oyster shells from our Shuck and Share program onto mats using biodegradable zip ties. No experience is needed - we'll show you what to do!
Be sure to wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, bring sun protection (though we will be under cover most of the time) and a reusable water bottle. MDC will provide gloves and tools.
Volunteers 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Volunteers must be at least 10 years of age.
