MAKE A DONATION
A single oyster can filter many gallons of water each day. A donation of $25 to ORP plants 2,500 oysters, and 95% of our funding is used directly for oyster restoration programs. That's some serious return on investment!
Workplace Giving
Discover the Chesapeake Bay Oyster Recovery Pearl Collection
Join us in turning challenges into beautiful outcomes! Celebrate ORP's 30th by shopping this special parl collection featuring two exquisite Akoya pearl pieces from Smyth Jewelers. While Chesapeake Bay oysters don't produce beautiful pearls, the process of pearl formation— turning a grain of sand into something precious—parallels our diligent restoration efforts. 20% of your purchase directly supports our restoration work.
