Billion Oyster Non Sibi Project with Edwin F. Diaz ’07

Andover alumni in NYC, join us for a hands-on volunteer day with Billion Oyster Project! Help restore New York Harbor by cleaning shell substrate, fabricating reef balls, or maintaining the shell pile for the busy season ahead. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older to participate and must sign Billion Oyster Project's participant waiver before arriving on site.
Volunteers may participate in a variety of tasks, including washing, shaking, and loading shells that will later be seeded with juvenile oysters; mixing eco-concrete and filling molds to create new reef structures; or clearing debris and organizing materials and equipment in the shell pile area. Your efforts will directly support the restoration of New York Harbor's oyster population through hands-on volunteer work.
The project will take place on Governors Island. Ferry tickets from Battery Maritime Building (10 South St. Slip 7) will be provided to registered volunteers. Additional event details, including the project schedule, will be included in your registration confirmation.
