An oyster wheel recycling bin is seen after a news conference at the Bourbon House restaurant in New Orleans, Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Oyster harvests in south Louisiana are still in recovery since the 2010 BP oil spill. For the second year in a row, restaurants and seafood industry officials are working together to recycle oyster shells to help rebuild oyster beds impacted by the spill. The program, organized by the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, is aimed at helping New Orleans area restaurants recycle oyster shells. The shells will be returned to coastal waters to help revitalize public oyster seed areas and as material in coastal restoration projects. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
