Shellfish Reef Module Working Bee, QLD

Help restore the lost shellfish reefs of Moreton Bay!
OzFish is working hard to restore the amazing oyster reefs of Moreton Bay. 95% of this vital habitat has been lost since European settlement and we need to bring it back!
Join our team of volunteers at a working bee. These happen every second Wednesday and fourth Saturday of the month. We start at 8am. You will finish the working part of the session around 11.30am. Then, stay for a simple BBQ and a quick project update. We wrap up by noon.
You will build shellfish reef modules like Robust Oyster Baskets (ROBs), Quilted Oyster Dooner (QODs), Living Oyster Garden (LOGs), Reef Stars and Cod Caves. These will be filled with sanitised and washed oyster shell collected from oyster shuckers, seafood outlets and restaurants., ready for deployment into beautiful Moreton Bay. These modules provide the base structure for ground-breaking shellfish restoration projects in the bay.
Working bees will take place at OzFish Oyster World, our shell recycling location at Port of Brisbane Park, Whimbrel St, Port of Brisbane. Please remember to wear sun-smart clothing, shoes or boots that can take a bit of water, sunscreen, and a hat. If you have gloves, please bring them. Don’t forget to bring plenty of drinking water and perhaps a snack.
What to bring:
- Closed-toe shoes that may get wet.
- Suitable clothing for working outdoors, long pants, long-sleeve shirt.
- Hat, sunscreen and insect repellent.
- Drink bottle and snacks.
Registration is essential. We hope to see you there!
