CRCL : Oyster Shell Recycling program

Friday, March 11 2022

Oyster Shell Bagging Event
Violet, LA
Friday, March 11th
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) is excited to have you join us in Violet, LA! Launched in June 2014, CRCL’s Oyster Shell Recycling Program recycles shell from participating New Orleans-based restaurants and uses that shell to restore oyster reefs and shoreline habitat across Coastal Louisiana. As a volunteer, you will help prepare the shell for a future restoration. Volunteers will place the recycled shell into bags that will later be transported to oyster reef restoration sites. Volunteers will also help clean up our shell pile and remove trash and plastics as we bag. By helping prep the shell, volunteers will play a role in creating a new oyster reef that will allow for the growth of new oysters, create new fish habitat, and act as a wave break which will knock down storm surge and allow new land to build up behind the reef.

Important information:

Everyone must sign our release and waiver of rights below.

In an effort to reduce risks associated with in-person gatherings, volunteers are strongly encouraged to take a COVID-19 test before and after all CRCL volunteer events. If you are experiencing any signs of illness, please stay home. All volunteers will be temperature screened at the registration table and sent home if temperature exceeds 100 °F. CRCL will provide PPE, hand sanitizer, and handwashing stations for use throughout the event, and volunteers will be required to wear masks at all times (except while actively eating or drinking). For the safety of CRCL staff and volunteers, please contact CRCL immediately if you test positive following a volunteer event so that we can implement contact tracing protocol.

Minors are required to have a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian, and must be accompanied by an adult.

All equipment (gloves, shovels, mesh bags) will be provided to volunteers.

Snacks, cold water, and sports drinks will be provided.

We require that all volunteers please register to let us know if you plan to attend. If any additional members of your family/friends are attending, then they must also register. You can register to volunteer at the bottom of this page.

Volunteering on our coast is a wonderful way to spend a day and we would like to ensure that everyone gets a chance to have a great experience.

If, after registering, you find you are unable to attend, please notify us of your cancellation.

If you are interested in bringing a group to volunteer, please let us know, and we'll try our best to accomm
