Shelter Island volunteers for better bays
On May 3, six smiling volunteers showed up at the Sylvester Manor Pole Barn ready to sweat and help Aquaculture Coordinator Kate Rossi-Snook in the first Shelter Island Back to the Bays Stewardship Session of the 2024 field season.
Working together, the group made well over 60 bags of recycled shell — a critical first step in creating spat-on-shell for oyster reef restoration projects on Shelter Island and beyond.
