Tampa Bay Watch is recruiting volunteers to build an oyster shell bar to restore 2D Island. The minimum age to participate is 15 years old. The project meeting location is Williams Park Boat Ramp, 8749 U.S. 41, Riverview, FL 33578. The project involves shoveling fossilized shell into mesh bags, transporting the bags via boat and placing them on the shoreline to create a series of oyster bars. This project is an effort to restore lost habitat systems to the bay, prevent further erosion of the shoreline and improve water quality through natural biological filtration.
