The oyster reefs in the water at this location are in man-made cages, created and managed by the Billion Oyster Project. Oysters are filter feeders, meaning they filter through the water to remove algae, to eat, and often filter out pollutants as well. The oyster reefs also provide habitat for hundreds of species and can help protect New York City from storm damage.
