By City News Service Feb 20, 2021 LONG BEACH (CNS) - Volunteers are set today to suspend strings of oyster shells throughout Alamitos Bay in Long Beach in an effort to restore populations of the Olympia oyster in Southern California. Orange County Coastkeeper, in partnership with the California State Coastal Conservancy and California State University, Long Beach, has solicited help from the Long Beach Yacht Club to assist in the ongoing habitat restoration project in the Jack Dunster Marine Biological Reserve. Volunteers are required to reserve a time slot to pick up the oyster shell strings and maintain a safe distance, and other safety protocols including wearing masks and gloves and using hand sanitizer after touching surfaces will be strictly enforced, according to Orange County Coastkeeper.
