North Carolina Starts Oyster Shell Recycling Program
 The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries just started another great program to help NC maintain its abundant coastal resources and rebuild those that need a little extra help. The NC DMF plans to collect oyster shells from both businesses and individuals and use them to create reefs. These oyster shell reefs not only encourage oyster population growth which helps clean up NC's waters, but also provide great habitat for crabs and fish. The next time you have an oyster roast be sure to drop your shells by a collection location, those shells could be a lot more useful to the North Carolina coast than filling your driveway's potholes. Info on the program from the NC DMF is below as well as locations where you can drop off shells.Program info and drop-off locations from the NC DMF Archive Link 0 Comments Tell a Friend |
