Only $1 plants 100 water-filtering, habitat generating oysters!

That’s some serious return on investment.

Oysters are filter feeders and natural purifiers of the Bay – in fact, a healthy adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day! Oyster reefs are incredibly diverse ecological communities. Marine species like rockfish and blue crabs depend on reefs for habitat and food. Help protect and preserve our beloved Chesapeake Bay by making a donation to plant oysters today.
