Volunteer Events: Fabricating Manufactured Wire Reefs

Event Details
Come out and help cut, bend, and connect galvanized wire to form multiple MWR structures using both manual and power tools. Recycled oyster shells and coconut husk fiber will be added to the structure attracting young oyster spat on the large surface area of the structures. No prior experience necessary!
MWR fabrication events are in collaboration with our friends at DNR’s SCORE (South Carolina Oyster Recycling and Enhancement) program.
We’re hosting MWR fabrication events at two locations this year: North Charleston and Kiawah. The Kiawah events are held in partnership with the Kiawah Conservancy.
