We are volunteers and members of the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club. Once or twice a month we invite anyone who'd like to join us to participate and learn how to care for and monitor the oysters. Open dates are announced on the main page of the website.
We garden oysters as part of a larger NYC Oyster Gardening program which is sponsored by the NY Harbor School, NY/NJ Baykeeper and the River Project.
You may participate with our Gowanus nets or you may join the NYC
program and have a net anywhere in the city that you have permission to
hang a net from. Applications are available in the sidebar of the main
page.
If you have questions or comments regarding oysters in the Gowanus OR the larger NYC Oyster Gardening program, please contact Katie Mosher-Smith.
