Put 'Em Back Post

Learn the proper fish handling techniques to help preserve our fisheries and ensure a healthy future for our waters. In partnership with Matt Perkins, Marine Biologist at SCDNR, we break down the four crucial steps of fish handling: fighting, landing, handling, and releasing. From minimizing stress during the fight to using the right gear and techniques for a safe release, this guide will help you protect your catch and keep our ecosystems thriving.

Learn how “used” oyster shells play a vital role in coastal conservation. Through SCDNR’s oyster recycling program, discarded shells from restaurants, oyster roasts, and collection sites are gathered, sorted, and quarantined before being repurposed to rebuild oyster reefs. These reefs provide habitat for marine life and improve water quality, as a single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water daily. Join us in supporting cleaner waters and stronger ecosystems by recycling your oyster shells! #PutEmBack
