Abstract
This report documents recycled shell collection during 2021 by the Marine Resources Administration’s Shell Recycling Program in Atlantic City, New Jersey, including the economic and potential ecological benefits, logistical tasks, partners, outreach, and challenges associated with the collection of shell. Additionally, this document summarizes program operations, the program's origins and history, the partners’ roles, and the recycled shell's intended use. In 2021, a total of 2,410 bushels (66 tons) were collected from four restaurant partners. A separate report providing a complete analysis of the MRA’s shellfish enhancement activities, in which recycled shell is a critical component, will be produced and available in the coming months. Full shell planting activities are not described in this report.
