Tampa Bay Watch is recruiting volunteers for oyster bar restoration on the shoreline of MacDill Air Force Base on Wednesday, April 1, 9am – noon. The project involves shoveling fossilized oyster shells into mesh bags which are then transported and placed on the shoreline to create a series of oyster bars. Through the construction of these oyster bars, Tampa Bay Watch aims to restore lost habitat systems to the bay, prevent further erosion and improve water quality through natural biological filtration.
Where: We will meet within MacDill Air Force Base at the marina. Driving directions will be emailed to you in a reminder message prior to the event.
What to wear: Volunteers should wear clothing they don’t mind getting wet or dirty, closed toe shoes or water shoes, hat, sunscreen, bugspray and bring a water bottle.
We’ll ask you for some personal info in the registration process: your middle initial, the state who issued your driver’s license, driver’s license number, the expiration date of your driver’s license for MacDill’s security clearance. The minimum age for volunteers is 18 years old for this project. You must have a valid driver’s license, vehicle registration and car insurance to drive onto the base.
