Come Build an Oyster Reef with Us!
About this Event

The Nature Conservancy and the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort are looking for volunteers to build an oyster reef made of concrete Oyster Castles along the Broad River. The Oyster Castles will provide a surface for young oysters to settle on and grow, while also helping stabilize the eroding shoreline, by protecting it from waves and enabling sediment to accumulate behind it. The reef will be comprised of four 500-foot-long sections and will be built throughout 2025-2026 to provide habitat and a feeding area for over a hundred species of fish, crabs and shrimp.

Mark your calendars and get ready to build something amazing! The timeframe for each event differs based on low-tide times, but each event includes: arrival, sign-in paperwork, welcome and instructions, building the reef, and clean up/departure. An email will be sent with more detailed information closer to each event .

*Please contact Susanna Hopkins at The Nature Conservancy ([email protected] ) with any questions.
