OYSTER REEF BUILDING

The American Littoral Society has been building offshore oyster reefs in Barnegat Bay and intertidal reefs in Delaware Bay and continues to build more.  Volunteers are needed to bag shell and to construct the intertidal reefs.  The offshore reefs are constructed by contractors but are populated by volunteers with boats who drop oyster spat onto the reefs after the shell has ben placed.  For more information click here.
