Explore Volusia: Oyster Reefs Paddle

Join Volusia County environmental specialists for a paddling trip through oyster reefs. Discover the important roles oysters play in habitat construction, water quality, shoreline protection, and food webs. Paddlers may bring their own watercraft or use one of Volusia County’s single, sit-on-top kayaks at no charge. Paddlers must wear a personal flotation device and whistle. Ages 10 and up are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Wear closed-toe shoes that can get wet.

Meet at Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve,  90 Divito Drive, New Smyrna Beach. Reservations are required. Search for Explore Volusia on EventBrite or contact Tommy Nordmann at tnordmann@volusia.org or 386-943-7081, ext. 21266.
