Oysters have always been a part of life in Coastal Alabama, whether they’re slurped fresh off the shell with granddad by the bay, cooked over open fires at family get-togethers, or tossed back with a cold beer at a Friday fish fry.
But those oysters? They’re disappearing.
We’ve lost more than 80 percent of Mobile Bay’s oyster population in the last 70 years.
We’re bringing them back, and we need your help to do it.

Restoring What Matters, Together
Meet Kayla Boyd, PhD. Baykeeper’s Oyster Project Manager. Her team, and volunteers like you, are growing oysters in cages at docks in Mobile and Baldwin counties. They’ve teamed up with local volunteers and community leaders to rebuild the reefs that once gave life and livelihood to this region.
But they can’t do it alone.
If we want future generations to eat Bay oysters, we’ve got to do the work now. Your gift today helps us fight for that future.
It’s About More Than Oysters
This is about legacy.
It’s about clean water, strong communities, and memories that last.
It’s about making sure your kids, and their kids, get to crack open a salty shell by the bay, just like you did.
You Make This Work Possible
Give now. Become a Baykeeper. Help us bring back the bivalves.
