Oyster Reef Installation: Volunteer Opportunity | Wednesday, June 10 | Noon | Riverview Park

In partnership with Jacksonville Oyster Conservation & Riverview Collective Community Organization (RCCO)

Roll up your sleeves and help restore the Trout River shoreline! Join St. Johns Riverkeeper, Jacksonville Oyster Conservation, and RCCO for a hands-on POSH Module installation at Riverview Park as part of the Resilient Ribault Initiative.

POSH stands for Pervious Oyster Shell Habitat – 30-pound balls of recycled oyster shells and cement that anchor natural oyster reef growth along the riverbank. A single adult oyster filters up to 50 gallons of water per day, and every module we place gives the Trout River’s natural filtration system a stronger foothold.

Volunteers will carry and place modules along the water’s edge – active, tangible work with real impact.

What to bring & wear:

• Garden gloves (required – modules are heavy and rough)
• Clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting wet or muddy; some volunteers will wade into the shallows
• Sunscreen and water
