Summary[edit]
| Description | U.S. Army Corps of Engineers crew drops mollusk shell (loaded into the white bags) into the water in order to create an artificial oyster reef off of Governors Island, Oct. 6, 2010. The artificial oyster reef, one of six planned for throughout the New York and New Jersey Harbor Estuary, is part of an experiment looking at the the possibility of once again having a thriving, healthy oyster population in the estuary. Oyster reefs provide three major ecosystem services: 1) habitat for other species, 2) augmented fish production, and 3) water quality improvements.
