With support from our Quogue Stewardship community, CCE Marine’s Back to the Bays team raised and deployed 3 rounds of spat-on-shell oysters this summer, utilizing our Quogue floating Restoration Raft!

Southampton Town officials joined CCE Marine staff to help deploy our 2026 round of spat-on-shell oysters on our restoration reef in Tiana Bay.

This work has been funded in part through our Town of Southampton Community Preservation Fund Water Quality Improvement grant.

Throughout the summer we monitored our Seahorse Hotels, which were deployed in the spring. Our Seahorse Conservation Team reflects on the diving experience and what species we have observed utilizing our habitat structures.

As we approach the colder fall months, our Habitat Team is getting ready to plant eelgrass in our existing restoration meadows, as well as some exciting new locations they’ve been scouting! Thanks to funding from the South Shore Estuary Reserve Program and Town of Southampton Community Preservation Fund
