Six hardworking volunteers joined Diana and I today to collect and plant more than 25 bushels of oysters from the Marylanders Grow Oysters program. Oysters from Warehouse, Almshouse, Beards and Pocahontas Creeks, and Limehouse Cove were collected from cages and transported to a sanctuary reef in the river. Most of the oysters showed significant growth!! Good news for our River! Thanks to Matthew Costa, Vicki and Matthew Magnolia, Noel Gasparin, Kevin Green and Lloyd Lewis - for your hours of hard work today!!
Also thanks to Dale Legal and Matt Schmit for their help coordinating the collection in Pocahontas Creek and to Lynn Hoot for her help in Warehouse Creek!
Volunteers have always been and continue to be the lifeblood of the Federation's efforts!!
More news on oyster restoration efforts yet to come. Now it's time for a bath and rest! Thanks again everyone!!!
