The capital improvement project will replace about 7,500 signs over the next five years.

Recycle Your Oyster Shells
|
|
Are you planning to host an oyster roast for your holiday guests? If so, please consider recycling your oyster shells to help with reef rehabilitation.
Did you know: Though South Carolina waters produce thousands of bushels of oysters a year, only 10% of South Carolina harvested oyster shells are recycled and put back into our waters (SCDNR, 2011). By recycling oyster shells at your event, you can help promote oyster growth, establish habitat and support local, commercial shellfish harvesting.
Click
HERE to learn about how you can easily recycle shells leftover from your holiday parties and events.
