About this event

Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Help Back to the Bays prepare for the field nursery season by organizing, cleaning, mending, and building barrels that will be used to grow hard clam seed in our FLUPSYs.

Want to know what a FLUPSY is, and how we use these barrels? Come to this Stewardship Session to learn more about this method of shellfish aquaculture while working directly with our Aquaculture Specialist.

Gloves can be provided, but we encourage you to bring your own. Expect to get mildly wet and/or dirty, depending on conditions.

This is a great opportunity for high school students to get service hours!

CCE Marine Program's Back to the Bays Initiative

Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program has been “giving back to the bays” since 1985. As regional leaders in all aspects of coastal and marine research and restoration on Long Island, we have been able to make significant progress in enhancing the health of our local waterways. Through the Back to the Bays Initiative we work at the community level with local supporters and stewards to provide meaningful opportunities for involvement in this important work.
