The Head of Bay project was initially a collaboration led by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to design, install, maintain, and monitor an oyster demonstration project.

This active project is located in the eastern end of Jamaica Bay – Head of Bay — in Nassau and Queens County in the Town of Hempstead. The success of oyster populations recovering in Jamaica Bay has been historically limited by the lack of substrate and reproducing adult oysters.
