Restoration: Living Shorelines

Learn restoration techniques while understanding the far-reaching impact of healthy oyster populations on our coastal environments.

• Attaching oyster shells to bamboo stakes to help create new reef structure in the marsh

• Engage in salt marsh restoration by planting Spartina and learning how these habitats protect coastlines and support wildlife
