Jacksonville is home to the St. Johns River and other aquatic ecosystems including the Atlantic Ocean. One animal that lives in our waters is the Oyster and one event is helping spread awareness about this aquatic creature.

A volunteer-heavy effort to restore some of Louisiana’s eroding coast with recycled oyster shells was part of the scenic backdrop for a visit from the head of AmeriCorps, the federal agency that deploys volunteers to serve communities around the nation.

A new fish and oyster restaurant is coming to San Marco and will move into a two-story cornerstone spot next to Publix.
