Seminole River
Our starting point in Southeast Florida: a million-oyster program for the river, built with the waterfront communities that live beside it.
Our work.
Projects, the Playbook, partners for purpose and ways to invest in impact that help coastal communities restore and care for oyster reefs over time.
Hellen Creek
Waterfront residents, oyster growers and conservation partners ask a practical question: how can docks and shorelines help rebuild a living oyster population? Under-dock oyster habitat and local nurseries give residents a direct role in caring for the creek.
The Million Oyster Playbook
Written for the people who have to make a project work: choosing a site, choosing a method, and deciding what to measure. One million oysters is its common unit for planning, funding and reporting. Shared so one community’s experience helps the next.
Star-Spangled Oyster
Fort McHenry ties the story of the national anthem to the waters of the Chesapeake. America’s 250th anniversary invites Maryland’s civic, business and community leaders into a 25-year effort to rebuild oyster populations in the Bay.
ReefNets
Modular structures that give oysters a surface to settle on and grow, used under docks and in other suitable settings. The same module across sites lets project teams track what they deploy and compare how oysters establish in different conditions.
The Bivalve Research Extension Center (BREC)
The proposed BREC facility in Hampton, Virginia, would bring researchers, hatchery specialists and restoration practitioners together to test methods, train people and move ideas from trials into the field.
