Join SCORE to construct Manufactured Wire Reefs (MWR) with Casual Crabbing that will be an alternative substrate for oyster larvae to land and grow on. Volunteers will help to cut, bend, and fasten galvanized wire to form a reef structure using power tools. Volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes. Safety gear, bug spray, water, and other needed materials will be provided. If you are interested, please RSVP to [email protected] & [email protected] to secure your spot as slots are limited (50 per event)!
Thank you for offering to volunteer alongside our Casual Crabbing crew!
You can bring a child as long as you are monitoring them and making sure they are safe during the event. Every participant will be asked to sign liability and photo releases at the start. We usually start at 9am and wrap up around noon, please arrive 5 minutes early to handle the paperwork. We will be participating in one or more of the following activities.
-Building MWRs (manufactured wire reefs)

Volunteers are needed to participate every third Wednesday of the month. Our next volunteer opportunities are:
