What's in the Water: The Eastern Oyster

Oysters help clean polluted water and reduce the impact of strong waves during hurricanes.
For this membership drive, we'll feature a ten-minute deep dive on a different species found in New York City waterways, and the ecological issues that impact them. Up first, Pete Malinowski, executive director and co-founder of Billion Oyster Project, shares his knowledge of the Eastern Oyster, how habitat destruction has impacted the species, and offers some solutions.
