At the curing sites, shells are spread to dry over a six-month period before they’re transported to Sapelo Island. The curing process removes bacteria and other organic materials that could potentially harm the marine ecosystem. Approximately 288,000 pounds of shell are needed for a current restoration project on Sapelo. (Photo by Rinne Allen)
