Volunteers helped build oyster castles on the shores of the Elizabeth River in Chesterfield Heights, Norfolk, Friday, August 12, 2016. As part of the Elizabeth River Project, the volunteers created a one-acre oyster reef throughout the summer. More than 1,000 oyster castles will help oysters grow on the river shore and reduce erosion of the surrounding marsh.
