OYSTER SHELL RECYCLING
Oyster shell recycling
Sea-N-Suds is proud to be among the group of restaurants who participate in the Alabama Oyster Shell Recycling Program. The program works hard to build new reefs along the Gulf Coast by recycling oyster shells from local restaurants. These new reefs are vital for new oyster growth, the ecosystem and economy.
Used shells are collected from the restaurant by Republic Services and are taken to cure for six months before being placed in the reefs. The program recently hit a milestone of collecting enough shells to create over 25 acres of habitat for oysters, fish, shrimp, birds, and other animals.
