Help restore shorelines! Join PDE in bagging recycled oyster shell to create habitat for marine life and protect coasts from erosion.
About this Event

Partnership for the Delaware Estuary has been collecting oyster shell from Wilmington area restaurants since early 2016. Generally, spent oyster shells go to landfills, but with our recycling program shells are going back to the Delaware Bay.

Oyster shells are important for baby oysters and the entire aquatic ecosystem. Oysters are ecosystem engineers and a keystone species in the Delaware Bay. These awesome shellfish not only filter our water but oyster reefs are important habitat for lots of local wildlife. By returning oyster shell back to the Delaware Bay we can create habitat for juvenile oysters to settle on. We need to put our recycled oyster shells into bags to use in local living shoreline installations. The process is time consuming, so we need volunteers like you! It is a little messy and a bit physical, so be prepared!

Who: Anyone age 16 or over! (Volunteers under 18 need parental consent or a parent present prior to participating)

What: Putting recycled oyster shells into bags for use in Delaware Bay shoreline restoration projects.

When: Saturday, November 1st, 1:00pm-3:00pm

Where: North Church St., Wilmington, DE (exact address to follow after registration).

What to Bring: Weather dependent clothing, close toed shoes, gloves (if don't have your own, we'll have some available), water, and snacks

Please contact Jecy Klinkam ([email protected]) for any additional questions.
