OYSTER ROCKS HIRES LOCALS

OYSTER ROCKS PUTS LOCAL PEOPLE TO WORK REBUILDING LOCAL REEFS

1000055845For generations, commercial oystermen around Cedar Key and Suwannee Sound have left the dock with empty boats and returned with oysters. This summer, a new restoration project is turning that process around.

Through Oyster ROCKS, Restoration of Oyster Cultch and Knowledge Systems, local oystermen are being paid to carry limestone out to damaged oyster reefs and put reef-building material back into the water.image0

The approximately $2 million project is being led by Levy County with funding associated with the federal RESTORE Act, which directs money from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement toward environmental and economic recovery along the Gulf Coast. Florida’s 23 Gulf Coast counties created the Gulf Consortium to develop and carry out the state’s plan for using a portion of those funds.

image1Levy County is working with the Cedar Key Oystermen’s Association, the office of State Representative Chad Johnson, SWCA Environmental Consultants, and other local and regional partners to carry out the project.

CK CITY DECALCEDAR KEY COMMISSSION PONDERS OD CITY HALL, FPBA, MORE
2026 August 20

The City of Cedar Key Commission met at City Hall on Thursday afternoon, at 5:20 pm, August 20, after the Community Redevelopment Agency adjourned. All commissioners were in attendance: Mayor Jim Wortham, Vice Mayor Mel Beckham, Nancy Sera, Dell Weible, and Heath Davis. An audience of approximately twenty-five attended.

MARKET IN THE PARK
Commissioners granted the farmers’ market vendors, who arrive in the City Park twice monthly, an additional two to three months fee-less access to the location.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Resident Janine Byrd presented her issues surrounding the recent recreational vehicles in a moratorium sent to each commissioner and the city’s attorney by mail, none of whom responded to her input, she reported. Stating resolutely that she “had a dog in the fight,” without further clarification, she suggested that the commissioners and attorney read Florida Statute 513, Mobile Home and Recreational Vehicle Parks, carefully.
