Volunteers Build Oyster Reef, Marsh on Permuda Island
 Volunteers broke out the dibblers to plant plugs of marsh grass along the shoreline of Permuda Island, an unihabited island in Stump Sound the state's Coastal Reserve program. They also built an oyster reef with bags of recycled oyster shells. This was all part of a project to remove an old causeway and bridge on the island and to restore the shoreline.
Our Wish List
 |
We still need a few furnishings for our office. A conference table and bookshelves and maybe some coastal prints to hang on the wall would be nice. So would a boat cover and an enclosed storage trailer.
See our Regional Wish List for other items that we need and you just might have in the garage. |
