"Oyster reefs do this really special thing; they become a refuge for finfish species, for crabs, for all types of really important species and so it's really critical for all of those species to interact together and oyster reefs make that habitat."   New York's Billion Oyster Project is one of the most exciting urban rewilding projects ever. In this episode of Rewilding the World Ben talks to Katie Mosher about the once vast abundance of oysters in New York and along the whole East Coast of America, the vital ecological role they play, and about plans for restoring them – starting in the middle of New York city. Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.Text Rewilding the World here. Let us know what you think of the podcast and if there are any rewilding projects you would love Ben to feature in future episodes.

Dell Technologies helps drive sustainability by providing technology alongside The Billion Oyster Project. The Billion Oyster Project is restoring New York City's reefs by collaborating with local restaurants and utilizing their discarded oyster, clam, and scallop shells as substrates for new oyster colonies. With the belief that one adult oyster can filter 50 gallons of water per day, the project estimates that one billion oysters can cleanse the entire harbor within three days, removing pollutants and nitrogen that leads to dead zones. This initiative aims to create a positive cycle where waste helps revive oyster populations, ultimately restoring the health of the city's waterways previously damaged by human and industrial waste.

An Introduction to the Blue Humanities (Routledge, 2023) is the first textbook to explore the many ways humans engage with water, utilizing literary, cultural, historical, and theoretical connections and ecologies to introduce students to the history and theory of water-centric thinking. Comprised of multinational texts and materials, each chapter will provide readers with a range of primary and secondary sources, offering a fresh look at the major oceanic regions, salt and freshwater geographies, and the physical properties of water that characterize the Blue Humanities. Each chapter engages with carefully-chosen primary texts, including frequently-taught works such as Herman Melville's Moby Dick, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Homer's The Odyssey, and Luis Vaz de Camões' The Lusiads, to provide the perfect pedagogy for students to develop an understanding of the Blue Humanities chapter by chapter.  Readers will gain insight into new trends in intellectual culture and the long histories of humans thinking with water, ranging across the many coastlines of the World Ocean to Pacific clouds, Mediterranean lakes, Caribbean swamps, Arctic glaciers, Southern Ocean rainstorms, Atlantic groundwater, and Indian Ocean rivers. Providing new avenues for future thinking and investigation of the Blue Humanities, this volume will be ideal for both undergraduate and graduate courses engaging with the environmental humanities and oceanic literature.

TCD. Best of: New York Harbor School & Its Billion Oyster Project, Teen Leads Fight for Maine to Divest From Fossil Fuel, Listener Call to Action!

Episode Notes There is less and less potable water on the planet and what we do have is getting dirtier and dirtier. We've let ourselves ruin this essential resource in the name of profit, or carelessness. The Netherlands is good at keeping the water out, but Europe puts us at the bottom of its league when it comes to the quality of rivers and lakes. According to the ministry, this is mainly because the Netherlands – as opposed to other European countries – measures the water quality almost everywhere. And when you measure more, you see more. In the last decades, the Netherlands has improved the water quality of its rivers and lakes, but the Dutch government still believes that more effort is needed. In this week's episode, called “Too Dirty”, we meet people who are raising the red flag, such as Li An Phoa of the drinkable rivers movement and the Dutch minister of Infrastructure and Water Management Mark Harbers - in New York he called on business to clean up its act! And did you know that oysters are fantastic water filters? They're cleaning up New York Harbor as we speak, thanks to the Billion Oyster Project, an idea based on landscape architect Kate Orff's ideas about ‘Oyster-Tecture'.

Oysters have been a New York City culinary staple for centuries. Hundreds of years ago, when the Indigenous Lenape people lived in the region prior to European colonization, the harbor teemed with shellfish. But by the early 20th century, pollution, urban development and overharvesting erased nearly 350 square miles of oyster beds. Fast forward to the present, and a nonprofit is now working to revive the once-mighty bivalve. The Billion Oyster Project started seeding the harbor with oysters in 2010 to improve water quality, increase marine biodiversity and boost shoreline protection. Its efforts have been successful: The group is on track to meet its one-billion oyster goal by 2035. In October, Timmy Broderick spent an afternoon measuring oysters with other New Yorkers to learn more about the project and the harbor's marine life.

Welcome to episode one of Ryantist the Scientist. Today Gracie calls in to ask, "What are three actionable steps that we can add to our routines to help protect the environment?" Thank you, Gracie, for being a listener and for your support!The idea of taking action to fix an issue as big as climate change, pollution, plastic pollution, and habitat loss can feel so overwhelming and hard to get started on. But what if I told you that these large-scale actions to improve the environment and the world are made up of millions of individual actions (coordinated and individualized) that people like us take every day? It can feel like our actions don't matter and have no real impact, but every action that isn't taken toward improving our environment is another piece that's missing from the work. So let's talk about action! What are three actionable and realistic things you can add to your routine to help change the world?You can visit the Billion Oyster Project to learn more about what they do, send your support, and find ways to get involved.You can also visit WeAct for Environmental Justice to learn about their policy agendas, their mission, how they have helped to shape policy in New York City and nationally, and to send support and join the organization as a member.Find your representatives here to learn who they are, how to contact them, and links to the policies they support and will work toward.You can support the show by following it on all social media platforms and wherever you stream your podcasts.

According to the Billion Oyster Project, New York Harbor once had over 220,000 acres of oyster reefs in its waters. And not only can they also filter up to 50 gallons of water per day, but they taste pretty good too. As part of our ongoing summer series dedicated to learning more about outdoor recreational opportunities in New York City, Billion Oyster Project founder Pete Malinowski and Ann Fraioli, director of education, join to teach us about the history of oysters in New York City, why they're critically important to maintaining a healthy local ecosystem, and how listeners can get involved and volunteer in and around the Harbor.

This summer we are revisiting some of our favorite World Ocean episodes that highlight optimism in ocean news, science and advocacy. In this episode we're talking about the history of oysters, New York Harbor, and the Harbor School—an innovative high school on Governor's Island in New York City, highlighting their Billion Oyster Project, designed to revive the defunct oyster populations through an ambitious goal of restoring no less than one billion oysters to New York harbor. Harbor School's restorative ecosystem service activities are reconnecting the harbor to the 30 million people living within its vast urban watershed.World Ocean Radio provides coverage of a broad spectrum of ocean issues from science and education to advocacy and exemplary projects; it is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

"We don't think of the environment in NYC as being this natural wonder", states Pete Malinowski, the Executive Director of the Billion Oyster Project. In this episode we hear about the ways in which the city contains that wonder, and how Billion Oyster Project helps sustain that vision of a healthy, biodiverse New York Harbor with the power of education. Also in this episode: Pete shares his climate story, we chat about the role of education and equity in conservation, and learn just how oysters can help us with climate change.

In this episode--the 3rd in a mini-series titled "New Life for America's Big City Rivers"--we discover The Hudson River with Rob Pirani, program director of  The New York - New Jersey Harbor & Estuary Program.The Hudson River is one of America's most storied and imperiled rivers. As the New York City Metropolitan Area grew over time, unabated dumping of waste water and industrial pollutants into the river took a heavy toll on the health of the ecosystem. In 1966, alarmed at the pollution of his beloved Hudson River, legendary musician and activist, Pete Seeger, built a 106-foot sloop--the Clearwater--and for years sailed numerous educational voyages on the waterway. Seeger's outreach that mixed music and environmentalism awakened thousands of people to use their voice for change; the effort is widely credited as pivotal in gaining approval of the federal Clean Water Act of 1972. Against this backdrop of history, we pick up the conversation with Rob Pirani and learn about improvements to water quality of the Hudson River today and the life that's returning to the Estuary.  Rob outlines what's being done to address residual pollutants in the river system the research and and the planning underway for new projects designed for adapting to climate change.  One of the important projects now taking place in the Estuary is the reestablishment of oyster reefs to provide breakwaters that can reduce wave velocity during storm surge, protect against erosion, and provide natural water filtration.  The Billion Oyster Project is embraced by the community and proving to be a success.  Rob’s passion for reconnecting people to the Harbor Estuary is impressive and we'll hear firsthand about his thoughtful approach to supporting communities and the need for providing equitable access. The episode concludes with Rob sharing experiences that have been fun and rewarding.For additional information and to support Rob's work, go to The Hudson River Foundation. We're excited to bring Rob's story to you, thanks for listening.  For photos and more information about our episodes, please visit RiverSpeak Podcast. All rivers have stories that ripple. I'm Dave Koehler.  Be well, and do good work.

“Impacts of Oyster Aquaculture on Subaqueous Soils and Infauna” with Chelsea Duball. Oysters are praised as ecosystem engineers, not only for their filter feeding, which draws particulate matter and nutrients out of the water, but also for their ability to create natural structures in the wild that can protect against storm surges on the coasts. But, as they expel excess nutrients that they don’t use, is there a potential for an environmental tradeoff, either in soil health or on the other creatures that live within these ecosystems? Chelsea Duball and her team studied oysters in Rhode Island lagoons, researching how much feces oysters could produce at various stocking densities, the short term effects of those feces on soil health, and the long term effects those deposits could have on the tiny creatures that live within oyster farm soils. Tune in to learn: How to collect oyster feces underwater What kind of underwater critters oyster farming can attract What ecological benefits oysters can provide How oyster farming can impact soils both in the short and long term If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2019.03.0099  It will be freely available from 19 June to 3 July, 2020.

On this episode, Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham sit down with Katie Mosher, Director of Restoration for the Billion Oyster Project, an incredible NGO dedicated to, well, restoring oyster reefs in the tidal waters around America's greatest coastal city. BOP is a cutting edge organization and they work with NYC's Harbor School, a free public high school that offers students deep immersion in coastal and marine science, engineering, and practical skills. Jump in and learn how one incredibly creative coastal NGO is really setting a high bar for effective coastal advocacy. Great stuff and only on ASPN!

When Henry Hudson sailed into New York Harbor in 1609, he saw one of the most vibrant and diverse ecosystems the world had ever seen, but as the population of the city grew, all of the oyster reefs were consumed and widespread pollution turned the harbor into a dead zone, unable to support any forms of life.  This began to turn around in the 70’s with the passing of the Clean Water Act but there is a lot of damage to be undone.  The Billion Oyster Project is looking to clean the harbor by repopulating the once vast oyster reefs that not only filtered pollutants out of the water but provided a habitat for fish and other forms of wildlife to call home.  In this episode we talk with the Billion Oyster Project’s Executive Director, Pete Malinowski, about the health of New York Harbor and how the oyster will help rebuild the ecosystem.  We also catch up with Ep.14 guest, Danielle Doggett from Sail Cargo at the WoodenBoat Show in Mystic to get an update on their progress in the Jungle Shipyard. Listen in!

On the latest episode of Eat Your Words, host Cathy Erway is joined by Jeremy Sewall and Marion Lear Swaybill, co-authors of the book Oysters: A Celebration in the Raw. The book is a primer on all things oyster, where they grow and why they taste the way they do, how to differentiate one oyster from another, and how to buy them, shuck them, serve them, and enjoy them at home.

Tom Heap visits New York to find out how the city is cleaning up its dirty waterways and bringing back oysters to the harbour. New York is highly populated. The 8 and a half million inhabitants of the five boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Staten Island use a lot of water and create a lot of waste. As a result the myriad of waterways, streams and creeks that all flow around the city, the network of 'sewersheds' that meander below the sidewalks, not to mention the vast rivers: the Hudson and the East River have all, over several centuries become increasingly dirty, polluted with litter, oil and worst of all raw sewage. Each time rainfall exceeds around half an inch, the aged Combined Sewage Overflow systems discharge into the rivers. But in light of 'Super Storm' events such as Sandy and Irene, New York has begun to tackle the problem. The city's Department of Environmental Protection has embarked on on a 'Green Infrastructure Plan'. Over the next 15 or so years $2.4 billion dollars will be spent on rebuilding the city to help it deal with high rainfall. There are 'green roof' projects, tree-planting programmes, and 'bioswales' are being constructed: all measures to try and reduce the impact of a storm of a similar ferocity wreaking such havoc in the future. Meanwhile a group of plucky scientists are attempting to bring oysters back to New York harbour: once home to the largest oyster beds in the world, New York produced more oysters than the rest of the world combined. New Yorkers rich and poor alike dined on the shellfish. The waters of the harbour became so polluted that they no longer thrive there, but scientists from the Billion Oyster Project aim to have a billion oysters living in the harbour by 2030, so convinced are they that the water quality will have improved sufficiently by then. Recent storms in the UK have shown that basic infrastructure struggles to cope when facing a deluge of heavy rain and strong winds, and so when a major storm event hits a major urban centre the results can be devastating. Tom Heap discovers what knowledge could be gained from the New York project and whether similar sorts of measures could be taken in towns and cities in the UK.
