Natural oyster shell is the best material to grow young oysters – and to use to restore oyster reefs. Each recycled oyster shell can return many new oysters to the water. Plus, oyster reefs provide valuable habitat, food, and protection for other marine animals and plants. By patronizing these restaurants, you’re helping restore the Chesapeake Bay. Promote  oyster shell recycling by supporting these oyster-friendly businesses!
