Support the Massachusetts Oyster Project by using a credit card.

GoShuckAnOyster.com encourages you to support the Massachusetts Oyster Project (MOP) by signing up for and using a credit card.

MOP has partnered with CapitalOne to develop a no-fee affinity credit card. If you sign up and use it once, they donate $25 to MOP and then 1% of all paid charges thereafter will go to MOP. MOP will use these funds to help place oysters in the harbor.
