Oyster Shells needed

Charleston SC

Description

Oyster shells laying around? I will come pick them up free of charge. Just let me know when and where! Please get informed 👇 If oysters are harvested but none of the shells are recycled, the oyster seeds are just going to drift away and eventually, the local oyster population will dwindle significantly. Should oyster populations drop because there aren't enough shells to restore wild populations, it could diminish local fishing economies, drive up oyster prices for restaurants, hurt water quality and affect other marine species that thrive around oyster reefs. In South Carolina, for instance, more than 100 species of marine animals rely on oyster reefs for survival. These mounds of shells, which are submerged below the water at high tide, provide habitat for small bait fish, which then attract larger, popular sports fish, including red drum, sea trout and flounder! (SCDNR) If you have any oyster shells or know of someone that has oyster shells laying around please contact me and I will come pick them up and get them off your hands.

Talk to any roasters, recreational harvesters, small restaurants, friends and family! Help save our lowcountry’s oyster reefs! Put shells back in the beds. All donations accepted! Thank You
