Dear Friends of NY/NJ Baykeeper,

Today NY/NJ Baykeeper removed oysters from its Keyport Harbor in order to comply with an order from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).  This experimental project was the largest in-water oyster research project in the NY/NJ Harbor Estuary and Baykeeper staff and Rutgers University were just beginning to gather important scientific data to assess the feasibility of large-scale oyster restoration efforts in the area’s waterbodies.

To read more about how we were forced to do this by NJDEP, please read our press release and information on our efforts to save the oysters. to see photos of the press conference click here.
