Motor Boat Launch

When

June 4, 2022. 3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Many people plant fruit and vegetable gardens, we "planted" oysters. Join us to see what critters live amongst the oysters, help weed out any bad seeds and learn how oysters help to Clean the Bay Everyday!

This is your chance to get a hands-on, up-close look at oysters and hear how important they were to Native Peoples, colonial people and continue to be for us today as we tend to them.
