Lovely Saturday volunteering outside NYC's Baylander, a decommissioned Naval boat now serving as a bar, restaurant and "steel beach" on the Hudson River at 125th St. Baylander hosts several of Billion Oyster Project's Oyster Research Stations (ORS's) - shoebox sized cages full of oysters suspended around NYC. As a BOP Ambassador, it's always fun to share the project's work with others and, here, passersby could see some really fabulous oysters thriving in the Hudson! So much new growth and biodiversity in these cages - big healthy clumps of oysters plus tons of crabs, worms, mussels and (really big) grass shrimp! No fish though, perhaps because the current was so strong (look at the angle on the ropes in the water!) The Baylander does BOP presentations twice a month on Saturdays. Next up - July 20th. Come check it out and stay for lunch onboard! Big shout out to Ira Gershenhorn, Scott Koen, and Paola Garcia - my partners in crime for the day.

Shuck yeah! Our amazing team in New York headed across the East River to Governor’s Island twice over the last month to volunteer with the Billion Oyster Project . The Billion Oyster Project is on a mission to restore oyster reefs in the New York Harbor. Because oysters are filter feeders, each one filters gallons of water daily, improving #waterquality, creating artificial reefs that help protect NYC’s shorelines from storm surges, and contributing to a healthier, more vibrant #ecosystem. During our visits, the MN8 groups had the opportunity to pool efforts for the cause. We had a great time getting our hands dirty together, learning more about the restoration effort and seeing the impact of our work firsthand. Thank you to the Billion Oyster Project for having us. We are honored to play a part in such a fantastic initiative!

If you like eating oysters, check out our latest feature on Thrillist's 'The Extra Mile'; a peek inside our partnership with Gramercy Tavern and over 70 other restaurants across NYC to recycle discarded shells and turn them into the foundation for new oyster reefs in our waterways. This brilliant series seeks to uncover the inner workings of the places we travel to and how your next trip can include more than a visit to the Statue of Liberty. Whether you're visiting NYC for the day or staying the month, getting involved with Billion Oyster Project is a great way to make a difference before you head home.
