A continuous supply of shell for the Chesapeake region. The safe and effective alternative.

With over a decade of Chesapeake Bay industry experience, ShellCo Materials understands the impact of the century-long oyster decline. This deficit has hindered the Bay's ecological recovery and slowed the growth of commercial fisheries. Our expertise in shell recycling addresses these issues by supplying a reliable product in quantities unseen in decades.

ShellCo is transforming the industry by sourcing shells globally. These oyster shells undergo aging and specialized treatment according to USDA specifications. We handle the logistics to provide a safe and sustainable supply of bulk oyster shells.
