“Coney Island Creek is a hidden gem in Coney Island. Fishermen use the pier attached to Kaiser Park and they are local experts on the creek. While we’re in the water, they’ll sometimes watch and interact from the pier. They’ve been like guardians to the reef making sure that no one has tampered with the reef. I was surprised to see how well the oysters grew after just one month of being installed. This site is also home to a population of wild oysters lining the creek! ”
