Culinary Institute of Charleston students volunteered to work on the “oyster recovery team” at the 35 th Lowcountry Oyster Festival  Jan. 28, helping collect close to 80,000 pounds of oyster shells. The shells will be recycled into local creeks where they will create new sustainable fish habitats. The Coastal Conservation Association South Carolina has organized a group of volunteers to collect and recycle shells since 2008. Over the 10 years that CCA SC has participated, more than half a million pounds of shells, about 10,755 bushels, have been collected at this one event. In that same time frame, CCA SC has invested more than $80,000 in equipment and donated it to S.C. Department of Natural Resources to establish and maintain a fleet of tools and vehicles specifically for oyster recycling and deployment.
