About the Event
Join us to help count baby oysters as part of an oyster reef restoration project! We have several small cages filled with oyster shells that have oyster spat (baby oysters) attached to them. These baby oysters will be placed in cages around Great Bay for the summer to grow and will then be released onto a reef to help revive the oyster population in Great Bay. Before we can take them to their temporary homes, we need your help to count and measure the oysters so we know how many we have in each cage. Meet at the Dover Community Garden in Hilton Park!
What to bring
We will be working down on the dock in the sun or on a picnic table under an umbrella so be sure to dress accordingly, bring a snack and plenty of water. We’ll supply the gloves, calipers and bug spray and there are bathrooms available inside the building.
Youth Instructions
Youth under 18 are welcome to join if accompanied by an adult.
