Syosset Street Fair celebrates 20 years Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Lou Imbroto, Town Clerk Rich LaMarca and Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato joined with members of the Town Environmental team to seed the remainder of 6 million oyster and clam seedlings deposited into Oyster Bay Harbor throughout 2024. Officials from the Town of Oyster Bay took to the waters on the Town’s north shore to deposit the remaining half million of the roughly 6 million clam and oyster seedlings that the Town planted into Oyster Bay throughout 2024. The Town grows out the seedlings at its
Shellfish Hatchery until they mature enough to be transferred into FLUPSY locations and grow-out areas where they can fully mature. “Oyster Bay Harbor is one of the crown jewels of Oyster Bay, and we are proud to be doing more than ever before to
improve its water quality,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “Programs like these help bolster the local economy while improving water quality. These efforts help preserve the natural beauty of our local waterways for generations to come.”
