- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
We are recruiting 10-20 hard-working volunteers to help build oyster reef balls at our Marine Center, 3000 Pinellas Bayway South in Tierra Verde. The project takes place on specified weekday mornings from 9 am until noon. The minimum age to participate in this project is 16 years old.
The project involves pouring marine-friendly concrete into fiberglass molds to create oyster reef balls and taking apart the molds that were previously poured. Oyster communities help stabilize shorelines, provide hard bottom habitats for fish and wildlife resources and promote water quality improvements in the Tampa Bay ecosystem.
