Thanks for your question about oysters in Great South Bay. Right now there aren’t any efforts being made to stock those waters with oysters. Carl LoBue says that The Nature Conservancy has considered a project like this, but it will be more difficult than hard clam restoration because there are not any oysters there to help jump start the population (and have not been any since the 1940s). But, if they continue to have success with hard clams, he says the Conservancy would be encouraged to try the same approach for oysters.
