Event Description: The North Carolina Coastal Federation invites community members and volunteers to a fun-filled Community Clean Water Day at the Morris Landing Clean Water Preserve on Stump Sound. We will be celebrating National Estuaries Day. Please join us as we work on a project to create oyster habitat along the shoreline of Stump Sound. We will be filling mesh bags with oyster shells and limestone marl to create a new oyster reef. We will be supplying a bob-cat to do the hard work, but we will still need many hands to cut, seal and stack the shellbags. We will also be conducting a shoreline clean-up.
 
We will be pulling seine nets and hosting other fun educational activities.  You will also have a chance to learn more about some of our ongoing and planned projects in Stump Sound. Join us and bring your friends, family and coworkers. Refreshments, supplies and equipment will be provided. This event is suitable for all ages. Pre-registration is requested. Please contact Ted Wilgis at 910-509-2838 or tedw@nccoast.org. Additional information can be found at www.nccoast.org Thank you!
