Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana Expands Oyster Shell Recycling To Baton Rouge
The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana is expanding its Oyster Shell Recycling Program to Baton Rouge, bringing the state’s only large-scale shell recycling coastal restoration program to that city for the first time. Through the program, which was established in 2014, restaurants collect their shell in bins that are picked up by a contractor several times a week. The shell is transported to a curing site, then placed into marine-grade mesh bags by volunteers. The shell is then returned to the waters of coastal Louisiana to create living shorelines, which provide habitat for new oysters to grow, slow the rate of erosion and minimize storm surge during hurricanes and tropical storms. CRCL will be building its sixth reef in September at Grand Bayou Indian Village in Plaquemines Parish.
