Adopt an Oyster, Restore our Coast!

Give oysters a bright future in our coastal waters!

North Carolina’s native oyster, Crassostrea virginica, needs your help! Your donation through this symbolic adoption will provide the home that baby oysters need to survive.

Your adoption comes with short, quirky updates about your oyster as well as a variety of benefits at different adoption levels. You can also adopt an oyster in honor of a friend!

You can also request an optional adoption certificate to print at home at any time. Questions? Email giving@nccoast.org.
