South Carolina Department of Natural Resources will be conducting their annual shellfish ground management efforts (oyster shell reseeding) at several Beaufort County boat landings beginning this week and running through the end of May.

The boat landings will remain open to the public, however there will be increased truck and barge activity throughout each day while SCDNR reseeds the oyster beds at each location.

The schedule is as follows:

• Wednesday, April 16-Friday, May 2
