Volunteer Registration

Fabricating Manufactured Wire Reefs (MWRs)

Description:

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 South Carolina Oyster Restoration and Enhancement (SCORE) Program.
