Editor's Notes
- We are still operating the Save Oyster Shell program with the City. The program has grown over the last 18 months and now includes 19 restaurants. We also collect from many private oyster roasts and fundraisers. We collected 2,280 bushels of shell in 2012, which is almost twice what we collected in 2011. All the SOS shell is saved for use in restoring new oyster reefs in the Lynnhaven.
