Recycling oyster shell to protect Louisiana's coast and create habitat for new oysters

CRCL's Oyster Shell Recycling Program takes oyster shell that was previously destined for landfills and returns it to the water, where it minimizes erosion, creates habitat for new oysters and many other species and helps limit storm surge during hurricanes. Our program has recycled more than 10 million pounds of shell -- and we're just getting started. You can support our program by patronizing our restaurants partners; by recycling shell generated by your household; and by volunteering to help us build our next reef. Our volunteer events are great team-building exercises, and we are making a difference in fighting coastal land loss: We have observed a 50% reduction in erosion in sites where we have built oyster reefs. Did you know oyster reefs can even adapt for sea level rise? Find out more at CRCL.org.
