JNOLA is partnering with The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) for a coastal restoration project! Volunteers will place recycled oyster shells into bags that will later be stacked on barges and transported to oyster reef restoration sites. 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 a 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.

Sign up for this event will be available in October. Contact Tana Velen at tana@jewishnola.com for questions!
