Filter Feeder Habitat: BOPxNCA

Join Newtown Creek Alliance and Billion Oyster Project for a fun, hands-on series building marine habitat for oysters, mussels, and other marine wildlife.

Using a unique blend of ECOncrete and specially designed molds, we will get our hands dirty to make a number of marine disks that will provide habitat for filter feeders to attach to and grow, acting as reef-like structures. All materials will be provided; we ask that volunteers also wear masks (provided) when handling concrete.

​​NCA will provide gloves, tools, safety vests, and guidance on how to safely complete our tasks for the day. Before the event, registrants are required to complete a liability waiver and photo consent form (Adult form here and Minor form here).

The work will take place on the Creekside portion of Kingsland Wildflowers, and participants are also welcome to explore the Kingsland Wildflowers green roofs before or after the event.

Location: 520 Kingsland Ave, Greenpoint, Brooklyn 11222

Plan ahead for the event: Please wear weather-appropriate clothes, sturdy shoes, and bring your own water bottle and sunscreen if need be. If you are unable to attend, we ask you to please release your spot at least one day in advance.
