South Fork Sea Farmers' reef-building program restores vital marine habitats while improving water quality across the East End. By using reclaimed oyster shells and hatchery-raised oysters, we create living reefs that filter thousands of gallons of water daily and provide critical habitat for marine life. The program also engages students and volunteers in hands-on conservation—empowering the next generation of ocean stewards through education and action.
