Engaging 1M People in restOring 1B Oysters!
Since our founding in 2014, Billion Oyster Project has been lucky to partner with companies, influencers, community organizations, museums, and other nonprofits to share our work with new audiences. These brands, and the people behind them, share our values and believe in our mission to restore oyster reefs to New York Harbor with the help of young people.
In-kind donations, limited edition products, media productions, public exhibits, in-store events, and other creative initiatives allow our partners to showcase their support for our work in addition to reaching a sustainably-minded, adventure-loving audience of over 45,000 New Yorkers and global supporters. Here are some ongoing collaborations designed to deepen your understanding of our work and advocate for its expansion in New York City!

Tombolo | Billion Oyster Project Capsule
In 2023, Tombolo partnered with us to launch an oyster-themed capsule collection supporting the restoration of New York Harbor's oyster reefs with each purchase. The capsule features three eco-conscious designs: the 'Aw, Shucks' Cabana Shirt, the ‘One-in-a-Billion’ shirt, and the 'Pearl Diver' Swim Trunks, and crafted from sustainable materials and adorned with oyster-inspired embroidery.
Throughout launch month, Tombolo donated 100% of the capsule's proceeds, raising over $100,000 in sales for our work. The capsule is now part of Tombolo’s static collection, and 15% of sales on all capsule items continue to support us.
Mon Coeur | Billion Oyster Project Kids Capsule Collection
Stylish and sustainable, the curated collection features Mon Coeur’s essential kids’ sweatshirt, T-shirt and rashguard reimagined with shell inspired prints, embroidery and aquatic colorways.
Made from recycled and organic cotton and marine litter, these pieces take kids from beach play to dinner by the sea while supporting the restoration of New York Harbor. 15% of proceeds from each item sold benefits our work and directly supports our mission.

SIXPOINT | LIL’ SHUCKER KOLSCH

In early 2024, Sixpoint Brewing teamed up with us to launch Lil’ Shucker. This crisp, easy-drinking 5.2% Kölsch is brewed to pair perfectly with seafood and support New York Harbor with a portion of proceeds going directly to our work in each can. Find it at a Sixpoint taproom or pick up a four-pack at your nearest supplier.
