Shelter Island History Museum Oyster 'R Here 2025
Back to the Bays will be participating in partnership with the Shelter Island History Museum to spread the awareness about our Shelter Island Stewardship Site!
Recycled oyster shells from this event will contribute to our Shell Collection Pile at Sylvester Manor to go on to be used in our remote setting tank to create spat-on-shell oysters to be planted at our Shelter Island Stewardship Restoration Sites.
