Summer's here and things are "heating up" with the @bay_paddle. Stay tuned for a big announcement coming this week! #sup #paddleboarding #ChesapeakeBay #Oysters

The final acres in Little Choptank River restoration areas were planted with baby oysters today, a major milestone for initial restoration! 358 acres of reef and 1.7 billion spat-on-shell provide important habitat and filter water.

In just 6 days our shell recycling crew has collected over 750 bushels of shell - that's an incredible amount for such a short time! Oyster shell is critical to our work as it is the best, most natural substrate on which to plant new larvae. It's also a limited resource. We truly appreciate our restaurant partners' dedication to recycling shell throughout the many challenges presented by COVID-19.
Our crews are slowly resuming collections from restaurants and public drop sites as COVID restrictions are lifted. If you're a restaurant in need of immediate pickup please email us at SRA@oysterrecovery.org.

ROUND 2️⃣ COMING AT YA! We had so much fun together the first time around… Sip N' Shuck is BACK with another stellar line-up! A true shell-ebration of #Chesapeake seafood, #SipnShuck is virtual happy hour featuring some of ORP’s partners who’ll share more about their Bay-focused brands, and teach us how to order, shuck, store, prepare and pair oysters at home!

Featuring:
– ORP’s own Dan Worrell to host an evening of fun. AND, of course, demonstrate how to shuck an oyster.
– Stone Slade, the Director of Seafood Marketing at @mdsbest, sharing everything local seafood, including what's in season and why supporting local is important.
– A toast from @witherhills wines and a terroir/merrior discussion on varietals that best pair with #oysters.
– @walrusoysterandale, one of our top-producing shell recycling restaurants, will be on hand to share more about their food, beverage and oyster offerings – Chris Hopkinson of @bay_paddle on his attempt to stand-up paddleboard the length of the Bay (over 200 miles!) to plant water-filtering oysters!
– And, of course, more fun giveaways!
