The Urbanna Town Marina now has an oyster shell recycling container provided and managed by Friends of the Rappahannock (FOR).
This container was built and installed by the Northern Neck Technical Center carpentry students, led by carpentry teacher Mike Sisson.

All the oyster shells recycled in this container will be used directly in FOR’s oyster restoration projects in Urbanna Creek, said Sagan.
