On October 17th 2020, Coastal Steward LI was visited by Councilwoman Jane Bonner at the Town of Brookhaven Mariculture facility in Mt. Sinai. She came to see and work with their Shellfish Restoration Program team. On that day, Coastal Steward LI was beginning to load half of the oyster population onto their boat to begin releasing the shellfish into Port Jefferson harbor.
This summer Coastal Steward LI raised an estimated 80,000 oysters averaging in 52.28 cm in size. Councilwoman Bonner was amazed to see the quantity of oysters we had this summer and just how large they had grown. Throughout the years she has shown continuous support for Coastal Steward LI by contributing a helping hand in our education, preservation, and restoration missions. With her and Coastal Steward LI close partnership with the Town of Brookhaven, we are able to keep our waters clean and preserve our harbors.
