The Town of Oyster Bay recently announced a new initiative under the Town’s Shell Recycling Program, through which thousands of oyster shells were collected during the weekend Oyster Festival. The shells, of which there were more than three tons, were transported by Town aqua-culturists to a curing facility, where they remain for several months prior to being strategically returned to the harbor to assist in the growth of new shellfish. “You can’t have the Oyster Festival without oysters, and thousands of residents enjoyed this delicacy during the weekend’s festivities. Thanks to a new initiative we recently launched, their shells will not go to waste,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “Through our new Shell Recycling Program, we were able to make sure that these shells could also be recycled and ultimately placed back into the waters.” 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.” As just one single shellfish can filter up to 50 gallons of seater per day, environmental initiatives such as this new recycling program have remained a priority for the Town Board. “We appreciate everyone in the community and the food vendors who have helped collect shellfish as part of this wonderful program,” said Councilwoman Vicki Walsh.
