Sea Change Partnership middle school students were paying it forward during their first field trip at the education dock of the NC Coastal Federation (NCCF). They teamed up with NCCF in June to build an oyster reef in Wanchese. In a blistering summer heat wave they formed a chain, passing down over 200 bags of oyster shells to build a reef on the edge of the marsh. The 100 foot long reef will prevent erosion, provide oyster habitats, and help keep our waterways clean. NCCF is hosting our summer science series focusing on local environmental issues accompanied by hands-on activities and experiments.
