These restoration activities in Clam Bayou, led by the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF), are funded by grants and in-kind support from NOAA, the Nature Conservancy, the National Association of Counties, and the City of Sanibel. Restoration of oyster and mangrove habitats will benefit many important fish species and invertebrates that support the fishery resources.
