Vertical Oyster Garden Workshop
2:00 PM – 4:00 PM at Carmen’s Kayaks, 16499 Porto Bello St., Bokeelia, FL 33922
Join us for a hands-on, educational workshop to build your own Vertical Oyster Garden (VOG) at Carmen’s Kayaks in Bokeelia. This event offers a unique, interactive opportunity to learn about water quality restoration and how oysters can play a crucial role in filtering water and providing habitat for marine life.
Each participant will build their own oyster garden using recycled oyster shells collected from local restaurants, which would otherwise end up in landfills. These shells will be strung on flexible stainless-steel cables and hung from docks, creating vital habitats for juvenile oysters and other marine organisms. Each participant will take home their completed VOG to hang from their dock, helping to improve water quality in Southwest Florida.
Space is limited, so RSVP today by visiting calusawaterkeeper.org/vogworkshop. A $25 tax-deductible donation is requested per participant to cover the cost of materials. Additional VOGs are available for a $25 donation while supplies last.
