The South Carolina Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association has an oyster habitat restoration project scheduled for today at Bennett's Point Landing on the Ashepoo River. CCA's Topwater Action Campaign will partner with SCDNR's SCORE program to recycle oyster shell and relocate them to specific areas. The new oyster beds will provide critical habitat for fish, shrimp, crabs and more while improving water quality with its erosion-buster effects. Volunteers can help by meeting at the location and be prepared to have fun and get muddy while putting the shells into position. Gloves, bug spray and lunch will all be provided. This is just the first of several such volunteer opportunities that stress "Habitat Today equals Fish for Tomorrow." To sign up call Holly Nettles at 843-953-9057
