Billion Oyster Project - Shell Collection Station

Nolan Park

Climb a mountain of discarded shells at the southeastern tip of Governors Island, where tons of recycled oyster, clam, and scallop shells from NYC restaurants cure in the sun for a year before becoming new reefs. Bring a shovel and join the volunteer crew, or just gawk at the scale of this wild restoration project.
