will we ever get any updates on how the oyster reef is doing?
Is it really that clean? I can’t believe it. Its incredible.
I have read that in the early 1800s oysters were sold cheap in NYC by the bucket and seemed to be in endless supply.
@daveallentown6868 - Oysters from the estuary were not just sold in NYC, but throughout the NY Metro area. Many, many pubs had them shipped in to serve to customers.
How can I obtain the reference book I see your staff using. I think it would be a great way to get my child involved in our harbor.
Here is a digital version - static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5604249b8fe80245a0d052/t/60c3cc5c691cd51fbd4d8780/1623444583203/Species+ID+Guide_June+2021.pdf
@@NHWildlife much appreciated. I do have the digital download. Trying to see if I can get the physical one...easier to get my 6 year old involved.
@@rgonzo1979 According to their site "Individuals donating $75 or more will receive a copy of our NY Harbor Estuary Species ID Guide (while supplies last)!"
@@NHWildlife Thanks again sir.
I love that you are doing this. Very cool that seahorses have come back to the harbor.
