Living Shorelines


Protect your waterfront property and enhance local habitat while cleaning the water.  Our living shorelines  provide these services by utilizing the natural structure and function of living oyster reefs.  Our installations typically cost less than traditional stone structures.  We find them to be more aesthetic and far more environmentally functional.

Call 240-538-1336 to see if a living shoreline might be appropriate for your property.

Spat on Shell


​Great for restoration projects, oyster gardening, or small reef projects. A bushel of spat on shell typically contains 3000- 5000 oysters.
​Delivery options are available.

$9.50 per 1000 diploid spat
$11.00 per 1000 triploid spat

Shell Planting 

​
​Large scale or small, we can plant shell for farming, mitigation, restoration, or reef building projects.

Remember to recycle your oyster shells.  They are the best substrate for planting more oysters.  You may return spent shells to us.  We also work with several local restaurants who recycle their shells.  Thank you!
