Below are a few pictures of our oyster transplantation day at Horn Point Labs on the Eastern Shore.

Interested in helping out? Give us a call! And, while you're here, check out the pictures that were took at our last Oyster Transplant.

Bags of shucked oyster shells were placed on palates in a small cove located on the Eastern Shore at Horn Point Labs.

Wonderful facial expressions like this one were commonplace on the teenagers during the day-long ordeal. Makes you feel good, huh?

The palates, boats, and many other materials were supplied only by local groups and fishermen. The MSA is a non-profit group dedicated to helping out Maryland's waterways.

The labs and hatcheries at Horn Point are of the best utilized materials and volunteers. Come lend a hand and see what it's all about!

Yea, that one goes over there!
