Our April 17th program will focus on oyster restoration projects across the country. Did you know that a single oyster can effectively filter water at a rate of about 2 gallons per hour? These seemingly simple creatures are incredibly efficient at filtering toxins out of our water. Come join us as we video conference with South Slough NERR about their efforts to restore native Olympia Oysters in Oregon!
