Oysters play an important role in coastal communities. In the environment, oysters improve water quality and create habitat for other animals. Their unique flavor makes them a desirable dish, supporting the livelihoods of watermen and local economies across the state. In years past, the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources,\u00a0NC Oyster Trail<\/a>,\u00a0North Carolina\u00a0Sea Grant<\/a>, and the\u00a0NC Coastal Federation<\/a>\u00a0partnered to bring you a week of oyster facts, resources, and programming. In 2023, we will put on NC OYSTER MONTH. Y\u2019all get ready!<\/p>\n We share NC Oyster Month information on social media using the hashtags\u00a0#NCOysterMonth #NCOysters #GiveAShuck #KeepShuckin\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n
