Tampa Bay Watch Oyster Dome Project- September 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 27. Oyster domes are constructed on site at the Tampa Bay Watch Marine Center at regular intervals throughout the year. The domes are being built in preparation for placement in Tampa Bay, to minimize shoreline erosion and provide surface area for oysters to attach. Additionally, by being placed along seawalls and shorelines, the domes restore hard bottom habitat and improve water quality. We aim to recruit ten to twelve hard working and heat tolerant volunteers for each session. Wear closed-toe shoes and plan on getting dirty! Water and gloves will be provided. Registration is required. Please sign up with Rachel Arndt and let her know the dates you would like to volunteer and your phone number: rarndt@tampabaywatch.org.Tampa Bay Watch Marine Center- 3000 Pinellas Bayway South, Tierra Verde. Find out more info here.
