Billion Oyster Project is a New York City-based nonprofit organization on a mission to restore 1 billion oysters to NYC's Harbor by 2035 through restoration & education initiatives. Oysters provide a number of beneficial effects for the ecosystem including filtering water via filter feeding, increasing habitat for other animals, & protecting shorelines from storm surges. Learn about the health of the harbor from Billion Oyster Project staff, & how you can get involved with oyster monitoring & water quality testing.
======
Zeke King Phillips is the Senior Community Stewardship Coordinator for the Billion Oyster Project, managing their Community Science ecological monitoring program. He is also a PhD candidate at the University of Cincinnati, focusing on the relationship between dietary ecology & climate in land snails.
Cody Herrmann is the Senior Community Science Coordinator at Billion Oyster Project. Inspired by lack of waterfront access & disproportionately high levels of sewage pollution in her neighborhood, Cody began combining socially engaged art, & community science to create participatory art works & public programs focused on NYC's harbor in 2014.
