Oyster Shells Get a Second Life

Oyster shells are nature’s building blocks—and now, Ocean City restaurants are getting paid to recycle them. The Oyster Recovery Partnership is revving up weekly pickups thanks to renewed restaurant interest, with a sweet $5 per bushel grant (up to $2,000/year) from Maryland Natural Resources. Free containers, public drop-offs, and a mission to rebuild oyster reefs across the Chesapeake Bay make this eco-effort both practical and powerful.
