Join the Billion Oyster Project at the organization's Public Exhibit House in Nolan Park, Governors Island to discover how their team is restoring 1 billion oysters to New York Harbor—with the help of 1 million people!

Step inside to explore interactive displays, a live oyster touch tank, hands-on activities for kids, and an art exhibit that highlights the connection between oysters, people, and the harbor. The project team will be on site to share how oysters play a vital role in New York Harbor—and how New Yorkers can get involved.

From lifelong New Yorkers to first-time visitors, this free, family-friendly experience offers a unique opportunity for everyone to connect with the natural world beneath the city’s surface and see how community-powered science is bringing the harbor back to life.

Family Programming: Family-friendly activities will include arts and crafts, corn hole games, a live oyster touch tank, and more.
