Did you know that James City County participates in the Save Oyster Shells program with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation? The Tewning Road and Toano Convenience Centers have corrals for residents and local restaurants to drop off their empty shells. When oysters are harvested, some of the habitat for future generations is lost. To help mitigate this shortage, citizens and businesses are encouraged to recycle the oyster shell that is removed. Replacing shells replaces this habitat and helps our oyster populations grow and thrive.
