Oyster Recycling Program preparing to start
Coastal Watch thanked Advisory Committee Members Bob Brooks, Pete Squibb, Carl Smigiel and Dick Bourdow for helping to assemble the oyster bin at the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation’s headquarters at 3333 Sanibel-Captiva Road, Sanibel. It is where volunteers for its Oyster Recycling Program will drop off their collected oyster shells when the program begins. Part of the SCCF family, Coastal Watch is still seeking volunteers for the program, which recycles shells from local restaurants back into local waters to build oyster reefs. Volunteers pick up five-gallon buckets of oysters from the restaurants and transport them to SCCF’s headquarters. They must use their own vehicle and be able to lift 20-25 pounds.
