DAVIS ISLAND OYSTER CASTLE PROJECT 2012
In partnership with the City of Virginia Beach, Lynnhaven River NOW constructed the first Oyster Castle reef in the Lynnhaven. On June 4th, we completed construction of 21 oyster
castle structures on 244 feet of shoreline on Long Creek. We moved 6 tons of blocks by hand, thanks to some very strong volunteers, and by boat, thanks to a few generous
oyster growers who helped with transportation. Another section will be constructed next year. As shown in the latest photos here, we have documented very good oyster
settlement and growth after 4 months.
