Shuck and Share
The Shuck and Share project is a collaborative effort between the Marine Discovery Center (MDC) in New Smyrna Beach, Gamble Rogers State Park in Flagler Beach, and participating restaurants in Flagler County and Volusia County. Recycled oyster shells are used for shoreline restoration and stabilization at North Peninsula State Park & Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area instead of contributing to landfill growth.
The Shuck and Share project is a grant-funded not for profit program. Volunteers pick up oyster shells from participating restaurants three times a week, as well as create oyster shell bags with the recycled shell.

Many thanks to local Flagler Beach restaurants The Anchor,

In the past two years the Shuck and Share program in has recycled over 170,000 pounds of oyster shells. Of the shells recycled 100,000 pounds have already been placed back into the environment in the form of oyster bags or oyster mats in the Indian River Lagoon and surrounding waters.
