Oyster Restoration OrganizationConservation OrganizationCurrently Operating

A Virginia Beach environmental organization working since 2002 to restore the Lynnhaven River — the same river this guide's own Lynnhaven River area page and the fishing site's own Lynnhaven-oyster culture story cover. Runs the Save Oyster Shell (S.O.S.) shell-recycling program, an oyster spat-collection program, and multiple reef-construction projects, with a stated goal of expanding restored reef to 152 acres. Offers volunteer opportunities in reef construction and maintenance — a real way for a visitor to participate in shellfish restoration without harvesting.
