THIS WEEK: Save the Bay, Help Build an Oyster Reef

The Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance invites volunteers to participate in Operation Restoration, a collaborative effort between the alliance and community volunteers to restore degraded shorelines in Choctawhatchee Bay by constructing oyster reefs made from recycled and fossilized oyster shell.

These reefs help to reduce erosion, provide habitat for marine life and improve overall water quality in the Bay.

Volunteers should report to the utility barn at the Northwest Florida State College – South Walton Center in Santa Rosa Beach.
