CCA Florida deployed 40 tons of recycled oyster shell in Turtle Bay, on Florida's southwest coast. This is the fifth deployment and it was dedicated to the memory of Mike Abbott from Abbotts Construction, who was instrumental to the success of this ongoing project. In total, 130 tons of oysters have been deployed in Turtle Bay in an effort to boost water quality, marine fisheries and recreational angling.

A huge shoutout to Ingman Marine, Clermont Oyster Bar, Abbotts Construction Builders, Lee Reefs, Gasparilla Island Conservation and Improvement Association (GICIA), Capt. Jay Withers and Lake County for being an essential part of this project. We could not have done it without your support and dedication. Together, we are making a significant impact on our coastal ecosystems and protecting the waters we love.
