Mobile Bay
Oyster Gardening on the Northern Gulf Coast began in 2001 in Mobile Bay. Members are spread out across several areas in the bay, including Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores. Now in its 25th year of operation, Oyster Gardeners have produced just under 2 million oysters for restoration and enhancement of over 71.5 acres of reef within Mobile Bay.
