WORLD OYSTER DAY The history of World Oyster Day is unknown; however, these magnificent mollusks are estimated to be over 200 million years old. World Oyster Day celebrates the different species that are categorized as bivalve mollusks, meaning a two-part hinged shell containing a soft-bodied invertebrate. Celebrate World Oyster Day by becoming an oyster gardener and fostering your own oyster reef habitat to contribute to ecosystem health. Additionally, enjoy oysters at one of Tampa Bay Watch's 14 Shells for Shorelines partner restaurants, which recycle oyster shells to go back into Tampa Bay waterways.
OYSTERS & CLEAN WATER Oysters are a keystone species, meaning that without them, the environment would suffer drastic consequences. A single adult oyster can filter up to 2 gallons of water an hour, and 50 gallons of water a day, playing a significant role in keeping bay waters clean and healthy. At Tampa Bay Watch, there are various oyster reef restoration projects including oyster reef balls, living shorelines, shell bags, and vertical oyster gardens. The beauty of vertical oyster gardens lies in their simplicity and accessibility for home use. They require no extensive permitting or maintenance and can be easily suspended off your own dock. World Oyster Day celebrates the appreciation and vital importance of this remarkable species.
