We’re deeply grateful to House Majority Leader Hon. Hakeem Jeffries for joining us today at Paerdegat Basin in #Canarsie, Brooklyn, to present $968,000 in funding for Billion Oyster Project’s expansion of the reef's 480,000 oyster deployment in 2019. This event was a powerful reminder of the importance of community-driven environmental efforts. Paerdegat Basin, home to NYC’s Black-owned boat club and longtime site partners, Paerdegat Yach Club, holds a significant place in the history of Canarsie and the wider Brooklyn community. It’s an honor to work with and learn from our neighbors who’ve preserved their practice of stewardship. With the support of leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, we’re making strides toward a more resilient New York Harbor. Leader Jeffries’ focus on community-based environmental projects is vital to the success of initiatives like ours. Together, we’re not just restoring our waters; we’re revitalizing the communities that depend on and deserve to enjoy them. Thank you to everyone who attended, and especially to Paerdegat Yacht Club for their continued partnership. #BillionOysterProject #HakeemJeffries #CommunityEngagement #EnvironmentalJustice #PaerdegatBasin #Brooklyn
