Oyster Shell Bar Installation at McKay Bay

May 16, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Tampa Bay Watch is recruiting volunteers to create an oyster shell bar on
the shoreline of McKay Bay. The project location is Desoto Park, 2617
Corrine St., Tampa, FL 33605.

Oyster shell projects involve shoveling fossilized shell into mesh bags,
transporting the bags to the project site and placing oyster shell bags on
the shoreline to create a series of oyster bars. The goal is to restore
lost habitat systems to the bay, prevent further erosion of the shoreline
and improve water quality through natural biological filtration. Click

program.[http://www.tampabaywatch.org/oyster-shell-bars.html]
