Oyster Month: Celebrating North Carolina’s Coastal Treasure

October marks the arrival of Oyster Month, a celebration of one of North Carolina’s most iconic coastal delicacies. Along the state’s beautiful coast, including Pender County, oysters have long been a prized staple in the local cuisine.

Oyster Month highlights the importance of sustainable oyster farming and coastal conservation efforts. Oysters play a vital role in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems by filtering water and providing habitats for other aquatic species.
