Join Oysters 101 at the ANERR in Eastpoint on Friday afternoon

The Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve will offer a workshop on the famous oysters of the Apalachicola Bay on Friday, October the 13^th.

The workshop, called oysters 101, will cover the role that oysters play in the health of Apalachicola Bay, what makes the bay so ideal for growing oysters, what gives the oysters their distinct flavor, and how oyster bars benefit the ecosystem.

After spending some time in the classroom, participants will then get the chance to walk along an oyster bar and observe its inhabitants under a microscope.

It does cost 25 dollars per person.
