The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience
Whitney Laboratory is seeking volunteers to become oyster gardeners as part of the lab’s oyster restoration initiative. Gardeners will grow, maintain and record data on their oyster habitats for one year, then return the oysters to the lab for use in restoration projects. In 2018, 41 people participated as oyster gardeners in Flagler, St. Johns and Nassau counties.
The next workshop dates at the Whitney Laboratory are April 24 from 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and April 25 from 6-8 p.m. for new gardeners. Those who are interested in attending a workshop must sign up beforehand by contacting Brenda Cannaliato at (904) 201-8406 or brenda@whitney.ufl.edu.
