shellfish: the region produces about 67 percent of the total U.S. consumption. But after every
oyster is eaten, it leaves empty shells, and the recycling of oyster shells, instead of being thrown
directly to the dump, is crucial to the recovery of coastal areas damaged by nature and human
beings.

Alabama coast foundation (ACF), a non-profit organization, working to protect the coast
environment, with a waste management company in October last year Republic Services work
together, in the region to carry out the oyster shell recycling project. It started with a few hotels:
Republic Services will be sent on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 3 a.m. to drive out to collect
the oyster shell after a meal, then to nature reserve, the oyster shell before back to the sea,
exposure in the air for a few months. The project has now expanded to 29 restaurants. ACF
executive director Mark Berte says interest is growing.

It is normal for seafood restaurants to send empty shells and other rubbish to the dump, but now
many areas are replaying their shells back into the sea so they can create a barrier to their oyster
habitat.

In the process of growing oysters, there must be a rock solid base. In the gulf of Mexico, the oyster
reefs are formed when the oyster starts to stick, leaving oyster shells and other oysters to grow.
But in recent decades overfishing, disease, and pollution have begun to destroy oyster reefs, and
85% of the world's oyster reefs have disappeared. In the gulf of Mexico, the disaster of the 2010
oil spill has also damaged habitats.

By collecting abandoned shells from restaurants along with Republic Services, the ACF wants to
contribute to the restoration of the oyster reef in the gulf of Mexico. Conservation association
(TNC) in 2012, the United States after the oil spill, has carried out repair operations in the gulf of
Mexico, called for a $1, fifty million investment, to restore the oyster reef, including rebuilding
100 miles of the reef.
"The more they give us, the more raw oysters come out," Berte said.
