The Living Memorial Oyster Reef
There are those having such a special bond with the Chesapeake Bay, that it becomes a natural choice and their wish to make these waters their final resting place. What a perfect gesture to give back, be clear about what you want and have such an appropriate place where family members can return, a true perpetual legacy.
Consider the sense of fulfillment, playing a significant role in restoring the Chesapeake Bay, receiving a tax deduction and at the same time deploying a Living Memorial Oyster Reef to reflect your personal relationship with the Bay. It is a gift that will continue to make a difference in perpetuity.
This program can also be supported by all organizations, companies and associations who care …
