One Million Oysters for Breton Bay

One Million Oysters for Breton Bay

September 13 @ 10:00 am

Show your support for a cleaner, more vibrant, and healthier Breton Bay by joining us on September 13th!
Saturday, September 13, 2025, at 10 am (rain date: Sunday, September 14th at 10 am), join the St. Mary’s River Watershed Association and Friends of St. Clements Bay at Abell’s Wharf to plant a million baby oysters in the Breton Bay Oyster Sanctuary.  Bring your friends and join the fun!

Volunteers are required to wear closed-toed shoes and a life jacket. We will have extra life jackets, but bring your own if you can.

We will unload 200 bushels of spat-on-shell (baby oysters) from trucks, load them onto work vessels, and transport the oysters by boat to their new home at Lover’s Point.

If you’d like to go the extra mile, we will need volunteers to help load the oysters from the water near the St. Mary’s College of Maryland River Center onto trailers for transport to Breton Bay.

We will meet at 8 am.

Thank you to Bell Marine Services and EcoBay Landscaping & Design for supporting this project
