Name: Oyster shell bar at 2D Island
Start: 2022-10-13T09:00:00-04:00
End: 2022-10-13T12:00:00-04:00
Location: Williams Park Boat Ramp

The project meeting location is Williams Park boat ramp, 9425 U.S. 41, Riverview, FL 33578, which is next to the U.S. 41 bridge over the Alafia River.

We will be installing an oyster shell bar which involves shoveling fossilized shell into mesh bags and transporting the bags to lay on the shoreline. This effort will help restore lost habitat by promoting new oyster growth, ultimately improving water quality and providing food sources and habitat for many species.
