📝 Summary

Since 2016, Alabama’s oyster shell recycling program has successfully collected over 31 million shells, contributing to the restoration of an impressive 120.1 acres of oyster habitats in coastal waters. Local restaurants play a key role by properly disposing of their used shells. This initiative not only bolsters marine life and local fisheries but also encourages student involvement in learning about oyster ecology and its vital impact on the ecosystem.
