The township’s oyster shell recycling program began in 2017. In collaboration with several local organizations and restaurants, we work to collect old oyster & clam shells to use in restoration projects in and around LBI. These projects focus on growing the oyster population in the bay, and maintaining coastal resiliency by protecting our shores & bay islands.
Look out for the truck that picks up all of our shell!
