Mar 29, April 26, May 24 all at 5pm – Oyster Cage Cleaning with the Oyster Recovery Partnership
Capital SUP Annapolis, 808 Boucher Ave.
Come out and help clean the 50 oyster cages suspended from the docks of the South Annapolis Yacht Centre. 10 – 15 volunteers needed! Be prepared to get a little dirty for a good cause cleaning up the creek Oysters are a keystone species of the Chesapeake Bay, creating habitat and mini-ecosystems for juvenile crabs, fish, and eels. These oysters help to filter 50 gallons of water a day. Multiply that by 50 and we have 2,500 gallons of water being cleaned EACH DAY right here in Spa Creek!

Long sleeve shirt/jacket
Pants
Gloves
Shoes that you are not concerned about getting dirty
