♻️ 🦪 ORP in Critical Need of Shell ♻️🦪

#ChesapeakeBay #oyster season is typically synonymous with crowded raw bars and oyster festivals galore. With restaurants closed or operating at limited capacity and events non-existent, this year is different. Many oysters are bypassing shell recycling businesses and going directly to the hands of the at-home shucker, especially during the holiday season. The Oyster Recovery Partnership reminds area residents to save and recycle their shell at one of the more than 70 public collection sites throughout the region.

“Oyster shell is the best material for getting young oysters into the Chesapeake Bay, making it the single most important resource to the oyster restoration process,” said Tommy Price, ORP’s Shell Recycling Alliance operations manager. “Right now, we’re experiencing a major shell shortage and we’re calling on the public to help us close that gap.”

#GivingTuesday is 3 weeks from today on Dec. 1st! Join us for a 12-hour virtual #Oyster Shuck-a-Thon to raise awareness and support for the #Chesapeake #seafood industry, hard-hit by the pandemic. Watch throughout the day as ORP's Dan Worrell attempts to shuck 3,000 oysters (4 per minute!) and to meet members of Maryland’s iconic seafood industry, bay-friendly businesses, shell recycling members, and other characters who make the seafood world go round! Shucked oysters will be transformed into delectable specialties by @phillipsseafood’s culinary team, a portion of which will be donated as oyster stew to @paulsplacebmore. Shells will be recycled and used in large-scale reef restoration. Let’s do what Marylanders do best and support local seafood by eating, learning, and giving back! Special thanks to our partner @mdsbest for supporting this event! https://oysterrecovery.org/givingtuesday2020/
