Galveston Bay Oyster Shell Recycling Program

Summary

The Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF) will continue their oyster shell recycling program. GBF reclaims discarded oyster shell from restaurant partners for future use in restoration projects. GBF will expand oyster shell collection efforts and educate restaurant patrons of the important ecosystem services oysters provide for water quality and the importance of recycling a valuable coastal natural resource. Shell obtained from the continuation and expansion of the Galveston Bay Oyster Shell Recycling Program will be used for projects that benefit ecosystem services of Galveston Bay and the health and sustainability of the native oyster population.
