## Description

South Texas Coastal Initiative is a conservation organization focused on restoring oyster reefs and improving water quality along the Texas coast. It addresses the degradation of reefs caused by overharvesting, pollution, and climate change, helping protect habitats and marine life in bays and estuaries.

A central part of the initiative is recycling oyster shells for reef restoration. The organization partners with local restaurants and businesses to collect shells, stores them in San Antonio, and transports them to the coast for decontamination before returning them to coastal waters. The shells provide a preferred surface for young oysters to attach to and help rebuild reef structures. Healthy oyster reefs support marine habitats and filter pollutants from the water.

The initiative invites individuals and businesses to contribute through donations, partnerships, and volunteering. Donations help fund shell collection and transport, reef restoration, water-quality improvements, and future conservation projects. Volunteers can support efforts to safeguard the Texas Coast, while restaurant partners contribute discarded oyster shells.
