I'm interested in supporting oyster recovery. What are the main requirements for individuals to participate in the Marylanders Grow Oysters program? Also, how can I, as an individual, recycle oyster shells, and what are the instructions for locating public shell recycling drop-off sites, including any special access details?
Navigate to the 'Get Involved' section and select 'Volunteer to Grow Oysters' to find MGO program requirements. Navigate to the 'Shell Recycling' page to find information on individual shell recycling. Locate the 'Seafood Lovers' section on the 'Shell Recycling' page. Click the link for 'public drop sites' within the 'Seafood Lovers' section. Identify and extract the instructions and any special access details for finding public shell recycling drop-off sites.
State two key requirements for participating in the Marylanders Grow Oysters program (e.g., having a pier/dock with 4ft water at low tide, willingness to maintain cages for ~9 months). Explain how individuals can help recycle shells by 'eating oysters' and 'making sure the shells are recycled', specifically by dining at shell recycling restaurants or buying local oysters and recycling shells at public drop sites. State the primary instruction for how individuals can find public shell recycling drop-off sites (e.g., 'check out the list below'). Include any additional guidance provided for accessing or using the drop-off sites (e.g., dumpster codes, calling ORP, visiting associated websites for hours/regulations).
