A pilot scale oyster reef was installed in Lemon Creek Park, and was the first of its kind in Staten Island. Multiple studies were done in the vicinity indicating that oysters can survive and thrive in this part of Raritan Bay. This project was a pre-cursor to the Living Breakwaters Project and undertaken with support from the Office of Storm Recovery.
