Oysters at Work: Powering a Healthier Moriches Bay
Heading into our 14th year, the Moriches Bay Project has raised and seeded over 3.5 million oysters into Moriches Bay. These oysters serve as the keystone species, forming new habitats and actively filtering the bay. Each oyster filters 50 gallons of water per day and filters billions of gallons of water each day. Learn about the various oyster programs and methods we use to help save our Bay.
