In this July 25, 2019 photo, Christine Thompson, an assistant professor at Stockton University, looks through bags of young oysters growing on whelk shells as part of an oyster restoration program being done by the American Littoral Society in Ocean Gate, N.J. People involved in similar oyster projects around the world say that in addition to helping clean water and stabilize shorelines, the projects provide a way to let volunteers help the environment in a tangible, easily understandable way.
