TOGA Board Only Home About Us Oyster Gardening Events Volunteer Projects Education Science More WELCOME TO TOGA The Tidewater Oyster Gardeners Association TOGA is a nonprofit organization established in 1997 to promote the environmental health of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries through oyster cultivation and by other means and as a way of enjoying Virginia oysters. Being filter feeders oysters remove bacteria and sediments making the local environment cleaner habitats for marine life and the improved water quality encourages seagrass growth which creates better habitats for fish. Our main goal is to educate interested citizens of all ages in oyster aquaculture methods.
