Volunteers Turn-out to Build Infra-Structure for Oyster Shell Recycling Program
Recently, a team turned out to build drying trays for our oyster shell recycling program. We like to get the oyster shell dry as quickly as possible as it reduces odor. The trays facilitate that drying and serve as a tool for storing them and tracking their vintage.

A team of young men from Wellesley came out and honed their carpentry skills under the tutelage of our Oyster Shell Recycling Program Director, Terry Baybutt. Terry is steadily building and expanding the program with a growing list of participants. Recently, the North End Fish Market to the program and we received shells from the Boston Seafood Show via Nagle Seafoods.
The shell mus be aged for a lengthy period. Once aged it can be used either at a hatchery or at a restoration site with existing reproducing oysters. Hatcheries will use the shell for tiny young floating oysters to attach to and grow. When placed on site, the oysters are laid on the bottom so that free-floating young oysters have a place to settle. Last year we dropped off a load for use at Wellfleet.
