Mass Oyster Volunteering

A New Volunteer Opportunity.

Mass Oyster is seeking a few more volunteers.  Are you interested?

They are partnering with the Wellfleet Shellfish Department to utilize their 2022 recycled oyster shells in bags as cultch in the harbor.

Volunteer Description:

The bags will be placed in the ‘set’ zone of the Wellfleet Harbor to promote natural spat recruitment. Like a quick-start habitat, these bags will help establish new beds in the intertidal area. Project will be using plastic (industry standard) and biodegradable (eco-friendly) materials on two different sets to monitor and perform a study.  Each process will take place outdoors at the Wellfleet Transfer Station.  Each shift will be ~3 hours.  Each process is done by two people.

Available days/Times                                            

  • Friday April 14th 9am – 12pm
  • Saturday April 15th 9am-12pm
  • Saturday April 15th 12pm-3pm
  • Sunday April 16th 12pm-3pm
