The project involves taking apart the reef ball molds that were previously poured using hammers, reassembling these molds, and pouring marine friendly concrete into a fiberglass mold to create oyster reef balls. These reef balls will be installed at a later date to stabilize shorelines and prevent erosion while creating habitat similar to natural oyster communities found along shoreline areas throughout Tampa Bay. Please wear closed-toe shoes and clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty. Used gloves will be provided, but bring your own if you prefer. Other suggestions include wearing a hat, sunscreen, bugspray, and bringing a water bottle. We will provide a large jug of ice water to refill your bottle.

Mission Statement
Tampa Bay Watch, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit stewardship program dedicated exclusively to the protection and restoration of the marine and wetland environments of the Tampa Bay estuary through scientific and educational programs.
Description
Founded in 1993, we perform a variety of habitat restoration and protection activities throughout the year utilizing thousands of volunteers to help the bay recover from its environmental threats. Individuals of all ages from families, community groups, and schools participate in native grass plantings, oyster bar construction, coastal cleanups, and wildlife protection each year demonstrating environmental stewardship in its purest form. The efforts of Tampa Bay Watch to restore and protect the bay's habitat through stewardship provide effective long-term improvements to the bay and empower our community to counteract local environmental problems. Learning how to achieve and maintain a healthy environment is a legacy that will influence our children and future generations for years to come.
