Volunteers Transplant Baby Oysters

By Jack Fichter

Volunteers arrived at a remote beach at Pierces Point for low tide Aug. 24
to pick up and move 1,200 shell bags off the Delaware Bay bottom for
transport to another location further up the bay.
Each bag was filled with old clam and oyster shells for baby oysters to
attach themselves. The shell bags were constructed by more than 1,000
elementary school children as part of Project PORTS: Promoting Oyster
Restoration Through Schools, through the Rutgers Haskin Shellfish Research
Laboratory including students from West Cape May Elementary School.
