Marsh Madness Week 4: The Lifecycle of a "Used" Oyster
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
