On Sept. 13, help add live oysters to the Forked River Beach living shoreline from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wear closed toe shoes and clothes that are okay to get dirty. Gloves and tools will be provided.

Then, "shell-a-brate" from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. with grilled oysters and live music.

This event will be held next to 1818 Beach Boulevard in Forked River Beach. Visit the American Littoral Society to register to volunteer.
