These reefs play an important role in coastal health by providing a stable surface for young oysters, called spat, to attach and grow. Over time, they help strengthen our shorelines, improve water quality, and support diverse marine life.
No experience needed—just a willingness to get involved and help our coast thrive! All supplies will be provided, and we recommend dressing in warm layers. Restrooms will be available on site.
