The Cousteau Center at Bridgeton is seeking volunteers to assist with Project PORTS community-based oyster restoration project. This year students at the Center’s partner schools constructed 2700 shell bags. The shell bags were placed in the lower Bay in late June and have since been collecting thousands, if not millions of oyster spat. These young oysters are now ready to be transplanted to upper bay conservation and fishery areas. Volunteers are needed August 15 and 16 to help prepare and load the bags onto skiffs for transport.
