Another August of Shell to Shore means another new cohort of Interns poised to become the next generation of coastal restoration stewards! If you see our new crew trucking around the state picking up your favorite restaurant’s recycled shells, please feel free to honk and wave!

Thanks to our fearless Director of Operations, Malcolm Provost, who always keeps things fun in each semester’s orientation! And, as always, thanks to rinne allen . photographer for capturing our work along the way!

And the loud oyster shell recycling drum beats on and on!

“Huge thanks to Brady and their team PeachFest Atlanta by Taste Network for inviting us to the Peach Part! Started out a little rainy at our table with Murrell's Row Spirits and Seabear Oyster Bar, but turned into a beautiful evening with peach eats, drinks, and a few oysters thrown in, served with a delicious peach nuoc cham!

Eat a peach, and an oyster while you’re at it!

As of July 1st, Shell to Shore has officially recycled over 500k pounds of recycled oyster shells, to the tune of 513,459 pounds! All of this work could not have been possible without our relentless and enthusiastic community of staff, interns, fellows, volunteers, friends, advocates, sponsors, supporters and our always growing number of restaurant partners (now over 50 partners!)

From our very humble beginnings, over the last 5+ years, Shell to shore continues to grow, build new partnerships, engage communities, and expand oyster shell recycling efforts across the state. Together, we’re showing how something often viewed as waste can become part of a larger solution that supports healthier coastlines, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future.

If you haven’t yet worked with us, please do not hesitate to reach out! There is so much potential ahead. Together, we can continue building a stronger circular economy for coastal communities that reduces waste, encourages environmental stewardship, and demonstrates what’s possible when people come together around a shared purpose.

And don’t forget to…

Eat more oysters! Save your shells! Protect our coast!

More and more oyster reef restoration efforts are underway down on Sapelo Island with our partners, and .iris, featuring a very reptilian friend in the last slide!

Every oyster that you consume at one of our participating restaurant partners produces a recycled oyster shell that helps rebuild our coast’s native reefs!

Eat more oysters! Save your shells! Protect our coast’s native reefs!

Our atlanta collection site, in partnership with , now has a new jib crane! This piece of equipment helps our interns recycle our shells directly into the trailers headed to the coast!

More shells recycled equals more ecosystem services provided, such as water filtration, providing habitat for other species, shoreline protection and increased resiliency.
