Show Notes

• Billion Oyster Project is restoring oyster reefs to New York Harbor in collaboration with New York City communities. Oyster reefs provide habitat for hundreds of species, and can protect the city from storm damage — softening the blow of large waves, reducing flooding, and preventing erosion along the shorelines.
