Score Oyster Marine Project: Getting Down and Dirty!

When we went to the DNR we were ready to get down and dirty and work up a sweat. When we arrived they taught us how to bag oysters. The purpose of this field trip was to recycle oysters.  When oysters are recycled you are giving live to a new batch of oysters. In the spring, we will go back and place the oyster shells on the shore of the estuary of the marsh. This will allow their lives to regenerate. Basically, we are allowing oysters to be sustainable. 

We ended up bagging 633 oysters. I am so proud of my group, we bagged the most oysters. This was more than any other previous groups.  I can’t wait to go back in the spring and see the lives of the oysters regenerated.
