SUMMARY:POSH Module Build - Living Shoreline for Riverview Park
DESCRIPTION:POSH Module Build – Living Shoreline for Riverview Park | Saturday\, May 9\nHelp us build Pervious Oyster Shell Habitat (POSH) Modules – 30-pound balls of recycled oyster shells and cement that form the foundation of a natural oyster reef along the Trout River. \nA single adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day\, and as a reef grows\, it creates habitat for hundreds of aquatic species while acting as a natural buffer against coastal erosion and storm surges. \nOver 85% of natural oyster reefs have been lost worldwide. Every module we build helps turn that tide. \nIn August 2025\, volunteers installed 40 POSH Modules at Riverview Park\, creating approximately 140 feet of oyster reef. Now we’re growing it further. \nNo experience needed — just a willingness to get a little messy and a lot of heart for the river. \nVolunteer Shift 1: 8-11 a.m. at 2000 Ponte Vedra Blvd (parking lot by Guana Reserve Middle Beach)\nMorning shift volunteers will load 13.5 trash cans of recycled oyster shells and bring them to the GTM Research Reserve Welcome Center (505 Guana River Rd\, Ponte Vedra Beach\, FL 32082). It will likely take 2-3 trips. Loading the shells wont take up the entire shift\, so once complete volunteers will be able to start on the POSH Module molds. \nVolunteer Shift 2: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at GTM Research Reserve Welcome Center\nAfternoon shift volunteers will come straight to the GTM Research Reserve Welcome Center (505 Guana River Rd) to relieve the morning shift volunteers. You’ll get straight to work on creating the POSH Modules. The process involves mixing oyster shells\, cement\, and water into a cement mixer where shells will get an even coat of cement. They will then be poured into hexagonal molds. \nRegister here to participate in either shift. \nThe POSH Modules will be stored for about a month to cure. Then they will be removed from the molds and deployed into the river to help create oyster habitat! \nNature-based Solutions: Improving Water Quality One Oyster at a Time

SUMMARY:Keeping Current Lunch & Learn: Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV)
DESCRIPTION:Keeping Current Lunch & Learn: Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) | Wednesday\, May 13 at Noon | Zoom (Virtual)\nYou’re invited to join us for a conversation focused on one of the St. Johns River’s most important elements: its submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). This webinar comes a week before we launch the 4th year of our SAVe Our River’s Grasses Expedition. \nWe’ll explore why SAV is essential to the river’s overall health\, from supporting wildlife habitat to improving water quality. The discussion will also cover the key stressors contributing to the decline of these grasses\, what we’ve observed through our data so far\, and the solutions needed to support SAV recovery. \nYou’ll hear directly from your St. Johns Riverkeeper\, Lisa Rinaman\, and SJRK’s Ecological Science Director\, Soraya Aidinejad\, as they share insights from the field and outline the path forward for restoring the river’s grasses. \nRSVP\nRegister here to receive the link to join.
