Bring Them Home Walk Councilwoman Michele Johnson, Receiver Jeff Pravato, Town Clerk Rich LaMarca and Supervisor Joseph Saladino with some of the four tons of oyster shells collected at the Oyster Festival. During last weekend’s Oyster Festival, the Town of Oyster Bay collected approximately four tons of shells, which will be recycled to assist the growth of new shellfish. The shells were transported by Town aqua culturists to a curing facility, where they remain for several months prior to being strategically returned to the harbor. “You can’t have the Oyster Festival without oysters, and thousands of residents enjoyed this delicacy during the weekend’s festivities. Thanks to
the Town’s Shell Recycling Program, we can make sure the shells will not go to waste and be recycled back into our waters,” said Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino. The Supervisor explained that shells provide an excellent source of habitat for young shellfish to grow and mature, offering protection from weather conditions and predators. “It’s amazing what can happen if we just let Mother Nature take its course – which just a little help from
us,” Supervisor Saladino said. “These shells offer great protection from weather conditions, and also help defend growing shellfish from predators. They are essential to our waterways and local marine environment, as they filter water through their feeding mechanisms.” Any restaurant owner interested in partnering with the Town on the Shell Recycling Program can visit the Town’s website for more information, at www.oysterbaytown.com/ shellrecycling.
