Fast Fact
ReWa partners with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources in a program that aims to return as many oyster shells to the state’s coastal reefs as possible. Oyster shells provide homes for marine life, act as a barrier against erosion and have other positive environmental impacts. Many restaurants such as Blockhouse, Jianna and Jones Oyster Co. participate in the program.
