OPERATION RESTORATION is a collaborative effort between Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance (CBA) and community volunteers to restore degraded shorelines in Choctawhatchee Bay by constructing oyster reefs made from recycled and fossilized oyster shell. These reefs help to reduce erosion, provide habitat for marine life and improve overall water quality in our Bay.
Volunteers should report to the utility barn at the Northwest Florida State College – South Walton Center in Santa Rosa Beach, FL (CBA Offices), unless otherwise noted by *.
