1 Gulf Coast Oyster Recycling and Renewal (GCORR) Project 2017 to Present

2 Originally Funded by Tampa Bay Estuary Program with 2016/2017 Mini-grant GCORR 2017 Location: Manatee County Perico Preserve Robinson Preserve

3 Bringing Oysters Back to Manatee River Used to be named Oyster River in the 1800 s because there were so very many oysters

4 Original Team: START (Solutions To Avoid Red Tide) in Partnership with: Manatee County Chiles Restaurant Group Gulf Coast Shellfish Institute Florida Sea Grant, UF/IFS Extension GCORR Goal: Restore Oyster Habitats To Improve Gulf Coastal Waters

5 GCORR Activities START : Program Management Chiles Restaurant Group: Action/Education Manatee County: Action/Education Gulf Shellfish Institute : Research Florida Sea Grant, UF/IFS Extension: Education/Outreach

6 Multi-faceted Project Project: Recycling oyster shells from restaurants to create new oyster reefs Action: Moving the shells from table to coastal waters and creating structures for new oyster habitat Education: Value of oysters to restaurant patrons, general public and workshop participants Research: Studying fresh vs. fossil shell effectiveness and identifying critical timing

7 GCORR Gold: Recycled Fresh Oyster Shells

8 Early Days: Grant funded trailer and Fresh Oysters Recycled from Restaurants To date 26 tons of oyster shell has been collected from three restaurants

9 Educational Outreach Restaurant patrons: Tabletop cards, posters and check out flyers Workshop participants: 815 participants in 25 workshops created oyster bags and mats Members of the Public: two news releases and on-going informational posters and signs Restaurant patrons Members of the Public Workshop participants

10 GCORR Sign Telling Our Story Posted Signs Then 100 Posters Made to Spread the Word

11 At the Restaurants We Spread the Word Teaching the Wait Staff and Customers

12

13 Building Mats One at a Time Lots of labor, love, and extra materials involved

14 Oyster Bags We used plastic but next we want to study new methods

15 New Materials to Be Explored Coconut and Hemp Rope

16 Celebrating Our Success And fundraising for GCORR

17 Results of 2017 GCORR Project START purchased and delivered vehicular trailer and nine waste bins Restaurant personnel collected 37,279 pounds of shell from three restaurants Restaurant-supervised volunteers spent 106 hours and 1000 miles delivering shell Manatee County educated 815 students and adults with hands-on workshops where shells were prepared for oyster reef creation in Manatee County waters within Robinson Preserve and Perico Preserve, with a collective effort of 791 volunteer hours.. Manatee County natural resources staff planted both shell structures and pure shell into intertidal waters creating a habitat of 800 square feet with 30,000 pounds of shell awaiting new permits To educate the public and restaurant patrons, excellent marketing materials and media efforts were created to publicize the project, including two news releases, signs, posters and three restaurant flyers Research was conducted to determine the most appropriate timing of placing fresh shell in gulf intertidal waters, as well as a comparison of fresh vs. fossil shell effectiveness, requiring over 58 hours of research requiring 392 miles of driving

18 It takes a Village Over 900 participants in 30 educational events

19 Research Findings : 12 Months In all months, fresh shells had more oyster spat than fossil shells. 55% occurred on fresh shells; 45% occurred on fossil shells. In total, 409 spat were counted on fresh shells and 333 spat were found on fossil shell. Based on the twelve months studied, there was approximately 23% greater settlement of spat found on fresh shell than on fossil shell. Greatest oyster spat settlement occurred in October, when 67 % of all settlement occurred To maximize settlement success, restoration biologists should plant shell (mid-intertidal zone) end of September
