It was a beautiful day on Monday, June 15th. The kind of day made for building an oyster reef. Public Radio East staffers, volunteers, and the NC Coastal Federation group spent about 5 hours constructing a 150 foot sill along the shore of Jones Island in the White Oak River in Swansboro. The sill, the basis for a living oyster reef, consisted of one layer of  sandstone gravel encased in plastic net bags and two layers of net bagged oyster shells. Approximately 55 volunteers from across the PRE listening area,  turned out to help with the project.  Click here for a slide show of photos
