Why are volcanos mischievous? Because they erupt to no good 🤣 Actually...volcanos in the Indian River Lagoon do a LOT of good! The cement-covered jute oyster volcanos made by MDC's Conservation Science team are a vital part of our shoreline and oyster bed restoration efforts. We need YOUR help to create nearly 400 volcanos!!! Join us this month as we measure, mix, pour, and mold. . . and bring your friends and family 👍 Open to participants 16+; participants under 18 need to be accompanied by a guardian. Cement work not for you? We also have our BESE Oyster Mat workshops happening in May as well! Visit our online calendar to see and register for all of our upcoming oyster volcano and oyster mat workshop dates: MarineDiscoveryCenter.org/mdc-news/calendar. You can also check out all of our conservation opportunities at MarineDiscoveryCenter.org/conservation Volcano workshops are held at MDC's main campus. BESE Mat workshops will be held at Indian River Lagoon Preserve Park at 700 Sandpiper Street on beachside in NSB (off of Saxon Ave). . . . #mdc_nsb #marinediscoverycenter #newsmyrnabeach #indianriverlagoon #onelagoon #shorelinerestoration #oysterrestoration #shuckandshare #shoreline #mangroves #oysterreef #oysterrecycling #volunteer #volunteering #welovevolunteers #volunteersareawesome #dosomethinggood #learnsomethingnew #discoveramazing

On a recent tour in Bay St. Louis with TNC, Congressman Mike Ezell was able to see firsthand the construction of the Tony Trapani Reef. TNC is building a 25 to 35-acre oyster reef to continue restoring oysters in Mississippi. One of the largest reefs built by TNC to date, the Trapani Reef is constructed of approximately 60,000 tons of limestone rock which is a valued oyster cultch material because it is a great surface for oyster spawning and growth. Funded through the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund (BP Oil Spill criminal penalties), Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Fund, and Mississippi Tidelands Fund, the project totals more than $5 million. This reef design will include construction features that allow for 1-2 feet of vertical reef height which will protect and strengthen the reef against natural disasters. More than 10,000 “pods”, weighing 5000 pounds each will be placed on the seafloor to collectively serve as a checkerboard-type pattern of oyster habitat. Catastrophic storms along with flood management protocols, such as the Bonnet Carre’ Spillway, sending freshwater surges into oyster habitats have taken their toll on a once thriving natural resource. The wild oyster has been all but lost in the Mississippi Sound. Prior to Katrina in 2005, Mississippi harvest numbers were etching near 500,000 sacks a year. 2018 was the most recent open season for wild oysters and it resulted in less than 500 sacks harvested. Oysters are not only a beloved menu item, but they also serve as natural water filtration, habitat for other marine life, buffer wave energy, and provide quality recreational fishing destinations. A single adult oyster can filter as much as 40 gallons of water each day. Healthy reefs provide habitat for other species like shrimp, crabs, and finfish. Essentially, the state of an estuary can be examined by simply evaluating the status and productivity of the surrounding oyster reefs.

🌊 Chef Chris had the pleasure of filming with @manateegov in partnership with Waste Pro Oyster Recycling Program today! 🎥 Did you know oysters are a critical part of the ecosystem, providing refuge, preventing erosion, sequestering carbon from our atmosphere, and filtering up to 50 gallons of water EACH DAY? 😲 You can do your part to help this awesome cause by coming in and having or sharing a dozen! 🍽️ @merepoint_oyster are consumed by you, and placed in the special bins provided by Waste Pro. The shells are picked up every week. The recycled shells are turned into “oyster modules” created for habitat restoration projects. 🐚 The habitat begins forming as larval oysters settle on the shells, creating the next generation of harvestable oysters in 3-5 years. 🌱 #BeachHouseAMI #AnnaMariaIsland #SaveOurOceans #OysterRecycling #EcoFriendly #ManateeCounty #WastePro ♻️

A big congrats to Waste Pro USA of Volusia County for being selected as the winner of this year's Rhizophora Conservation Hero Award - presented at our ShORE Symposium on April 11. Waste Pro began partnering with MDC’s Shuck & Share program in 2014 to collect discarded oyster shells from participating local restaurants. Our Conservation Science Coordinator Tess Sailor-Tynes notes that "the conservation efforts that are supported by Shuck & Share would not be successful without Waste Pro’s involvement. The ability to divert larger amounts of oyster shells from the landfill and to use them in the restoration of thousands of feet of shoreline and acres of oyster beds is due to the unwavering positive impact that Waste Pro creates in our community.” “This is a huge honor for Waste Pro and who would have ever guessed the impact that it would have when we started this a decade ago,” said Jose D. Abarca, Waste Pro District Operations Manager. “Our company’s motto is, ‘Whatever it takes,’ and this oyster recycling program is a prime example of that. It’s a success story for all of us.” “It’s always been our goal to be more than just a ‘garbage company,’ and MDC’s oyster program allows us to give back to our community,” said Abarca. “We can all feel proud that we are doing the right thing environmentally.” MDC presents the Rhizophora Award to individuals and entities working to make a positive impact on the health of the Indian River Lagoon by demonstrating our mission “to protect and restore Florida’s coastal and Indian River Lagoon ecosystems through education, research and community stewardship."

Going to the 13th Annual Snow Hill Oyster Roast? 🦪 Make sure to drop your oyster shells in the designated Worcester County Recycling containers placed around the event. “Worcester County has teamed up with Shell Recycling Alliance Oyster Recovery Partnership (ORP) to help replenish the oyster populations in the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays,” Recycling Manager Bob Keenan said. Recycled oyster shells are the preferred natural substrate for oyster production. Each recycled shell can be used to grow up to ten young oysters (spat), which are then planted by the ORP in the bays to restore declining oyster habitats and improve water quality.

“Once you shuck ’em, don’t just chuck ’em!” That's the motto of our partners in the Gulf of Mexico, who are recycling oyster shells from seafood restaurants and turning them back into reefs on which baby oysters can grow 🦪♻️ Half of the $250 million U.S. oyster industry is based on the Gulf Coast—but overharvesting, disasters like oil spills, and storms have reduced oyster populations by 85 percent. Their decline threatens livelihoods and the health of coastal ecosystems, where reefs reduce storm surge and filter water. We're involving community members—including chefs, local volunteers, and tribal members—in this important restoration work. 1) Volunteers build an oyster reef from recycled oyster shells (Photo: Galveston Bay Foundation) 2) Volunteers gather bags of oyster shells to help protect ancient burial mounds belonging to the Pointe-au-Chien Tribe.

It’s hard to wrap your brain around ONE MILLION pounds of oyster shells. But for Marine Discovery Center’s Shuck & Share Oyster Recycling program, it’s even harder to think of those shells going into the county landfill rather than into the Indian River Lagoon to help grow new oyster reefs or to stabilize shoreline in the fragile estuary. With the help of research & community partners, local businesses, volunteers, and numerous other supporters, Shuck & Share has now hit the million-pound milestone AND helped to restore roughly 20,000 feet of shoreline since its inception in 2013. Read more about the story of Shuck & Share and this magnificent milestone in an article by staff writer Lisa D.

Our Conservation Science Team had a few big reasons to celebrate this week! On Wednesday, we reached our quota of oyster volcanos - staff and volunteers created a grand total of 1104 volcanos since October!! These cement-covered jute volcano units are a vital part of our shoreline and oyster bed restoration efforts in the Indian River Lagoon. A VERY special shout-out goes to the Miller and Flanders family! Over the course of 16 cement workshops, they have helped us make over 400 volcanoes that will be deployed as part of shoreline restoration projects this spring. This awesome group also holds our record for most volcanoes ever made in one workshop: an incredible 55 volcanoes made in a three-hour period. That’s nearly 20 an hour! If you’ve ever attended one of our cement workshops you know how impressive that is. Thank you, Carrie, Mia, Patricia, and Mike! Also on Wednesday, we began preparations for deployment of these units into the Lagoon - our mighty team of volunteers helped transport 258 volcanos to Canaveral National Seashore for upcoming living shoreline stabilization! Thank you to everyone who came out to help with volcanos and to ALL who support our important conservation work by attending tours and programs, shopping in our gift store, becoming a member, or donating. Your generosity allow us to protect and restore our coastal ecosystems and ensure their survival for years to come. Did you miss out on making volcanos but want to help restoration work? Not to worry - our Oyster Mat Workshops are starting up later this month!

The oyster drop off site at The Sands boat landing in Port Royal was way past its shelf life! In partnership with the good folks at AW Constant Company on St. Helena, we went out with the old and in with the new! With the work of these volunteers, the entire structure was recently torn down and rebuilt in 48 hours!! Now, this site is ready for another round of oyster recycling, conveniently located and open to the general public 24 hours a day. This is the most recent oyster recycling center project YOUR CCA South Carolina has undertaken in our commitment to the next ten drop off site resortation or construction projects across the state. Through CCA South Carolina's participation over the last 15 years, oyster shell recycling and oyster reef enhancement has become a much more compelling public concern. Look for more sites to be added as we continue to work expanding oyster recycling across the Palmetto State. #JoinCCA #Gofish #oysters #oysterrecycling # #oystersarehabitatforming #SCORE #marineconservation # #marinehabitat # #marineadvocacy #recreationalfishing # #saltwaterfishing # #sportfishing #CCA #ccasouthcarolina

From the beginning, to the middle, to the end, and back again, CCA South Carolina has been participating in and promoting the important message of oyster shell recycling for over 15 years in SC. The benefits to our water quality and the enhancement of our marine estuaries, the habitat, and the marine life this beloved resource plays is paramount. Working with our long time partners at the @scdnr 's #S.C.O.R.E. program, our great friends and supporters at the @lowcountryoysterfestival, and the legion of volunteers that have put in thousands of manhours, we have recycled 100's of thousands of pounds of shell. It's been reported that oyster shell recycling has increased over 30% since CCA South Carolina began our efforts. Over 100 new oyster reefs have been placed from the top, to the bottom of the Palmetto State's coastline using the equipment donated by CCA South Carolina over that time. These reefs are not intended for harvest but for habitat enhancement only. From trailers, to dump trucks, to a fleet of barges/boats, to building new drop off sites statewide, and of course volunteer time, CCA South Carolina has provided it. Oyster shell recycling and oyster reef enhancement were the first and remain the cornerstones of the state chapter's dedicated habitat program, the Topwater Action Campaign. #joincca #gofish #shuckyeah #marinehabitat #oysters #oysterrecycling #oystersarehabitatforming #recreationalfishing #saltwaterfishing #sportfishing #CCA #ccasouthcarolina

Trying something new… Here is a photo of three views of the same variety of Oyster. This East Beach Blond is from Rhode Island. Which happens to be my favorite geography for Oys. Something about the overall quality of products we receive from every brand. However, the shells of some can be a little brittle.

Going to the Snow Hill Seafood Festival? Make sure to drop your oyster shells in the designated Worcester County Recycling containers placed around the event. “Worcester County has teamed up with Shell Recycling Alliance Oyster Recovery Partnership (ORP) to help replenish the oyster populations in the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays,” Recycling Manager Bob Keenan said. “ Recycled oyster shells are the preferred natural substrate for oyster production. Each recycled shell can be used to grow up to ten young oysters (spat), which are then planted by the ORP in the bays to restore declining oyster habitats and improve water quality. To date, some four billion oysters have been planted on 1,500 acres of oyster reefs, and more than 1,200 tons of shells have been recycled to provide homes for new oysters See you Sunday! 🦪❤️ #worcestercountyrecycling #oysterrecovery #oysterrecycling #shellrecyclingalliance #snowhillmd #snowhillchamber #delmarva

Did you know you can strengthen our beloved saltmarsh habitats, support local seafood populations and reduce your waste simply by recycling your oyster shells? @scdnr runs the South Carolina Oyster Recycling and Enhancement program (SCORE) where they take your donated and discarded oyster shells and strategically place them on eroded banks of saltmarsh creeks to rebuild oyster reefs. Oyster reefs are habitat forming, meaning they create homes for dozens of other species, keep water clean through filter feeding and are a natural breakwater for boat wakes, storm surge and rising tides (holding sediment in place which prevents erosion). SCORE has public oyster shell drop off locations throughout the Lowcountry, so anyone can contribute to this conservation program and support our local saltmarsh and seafood habitats! #nationalseafoodmonth . . . #seafood #sustainableseafood #local #oyster #oysterreef #saltmarsh #saltmarshhabitat #habitatforming #shellfish #scdnr #score #oysterrecycling #recycling #aquarium #southcarolinaaquarium #conservation #conservationinaction

Last Friday, we hosted the Pelicans, Saints, Southern Quality Ford and Terrebonne Ford at an oyster shell recycling event at our Restoration Headquarters. Together, these groups prepared 6.8 tons of oyster shells to be used in the oyster reef we are building over the next two weekends! This was also a special event for CRCL as we celebrated the donation of a Ford Bronco for our restoration department. Thanks to Southern Quality Ford and the #BroncoWildFund for making it possible for us to bring our staff and supplies to our restoration projects across Louisiana's coast! We've already started using this hardworking vehicle to help us get grasses and trees in the ground and oyster shells back in the water. It will help us immensely in our mission to unite people in action to achieve a thriving, sustainable Louisiana coast for all! #CoastalRestoration #NBACares #FordBronco #OysterRecycling #OysterShellRecyclingProgram #OysterReef #LouisianaCoast @southernqualityford @terrebonnefordlincoln @pelicanscommunity @saintsincommunity @perretpelican

Happy National Oyster Day! 🦪 Oysters have long been a way of life in the Lowcountry and continue to play an important (and delicious!) role at Palmetto Bluff. The remaining shells of every scrumptious oyster enjoyed at Cole's restaurant in Moreland Village are collected, recycled, and used to rebuild oyster beds throughout the Lowcountry. Typically, we recycle around 500 oysters per week. ♻️ 📷 : Palmetto Bluff residents and local community volunteers help build oyster reefs along the Bluff's surrounding waterways with @SCDNR and @Outside.Experiences.

Did you know? The Eastern oyster is a keystone species of the Indian River Lagoon because of its ability to filter 25-50 gallons of water per day! These small but mighty animals support water quality and overall habitat health in their ecosystems. Although estuaries face both natural and human impacts, there is conservation work being done around the world to help ensure their future success. The Shuck & Share program at MDC has been recycling oyster shells from local restaurants since 2014. The program has involved local businesses, community members, and school groups in reusing over 937,000 pounds of shells for shoreline and oyster reef restoration projects. Whether you enjoy them on your plate or just appreciate what they do for the environment, join us in celebrating these beautiful bivalves! #nationaloysterday . . . @goodrichoakhill @mckennasplacensb @mckennasplaceportorange @thebakerstablensb @chases_on_the_beach @offthehooknsb @offthehookinletharbor @citymarketbistronsb @fyshbarandgrill @seafoodatstoneys @63sovereign @riptidesrawbarormond @onelagoon @universityofcentralflorida @ucf_ceelab @myfwc @fl.stateparks @cca_florida #mdc_nsb #marinediscoverycenter #newsmyrnabeach #indianriverlagoon #onelagoon #mosquitolagoon #shuckandshare #oysterrestoration #oysterrecycling #oysterconservation #oysterreefrestoration #conservationscience #shorelinerestoration #easternoyster #oyster #oysters #weloveoysters #beautifulbivalves #volusiacounty #learnsomethingnew #discoveramazing
