The New York State Thruway Authority’s construction of the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge (formerly the Tappan Zee Bridge) disrupted several acres of oyster habitat. To compensate for the loss of habitat, the project was required to conduct mitigation, which included a multi-year study and culminated in the development of seven acres of thriving reef habitat.
