The VOGs recruit new oyster growth, expand oyster reef habitats, and promote thriving ecosystems. VOGs act as an exciting technique of oyster restoration that involves the community!If you live on a marine coastal waterway, you can also take home VOGs to install on your dock to help with oyster restoration!!
