We received more than $2100 to help us further our mission to provide access to the waters of Oyster Bay Harbor and Long Island Sound through our education and recreational Marine, sailing, and paddle programs, with help from your generous votes. These funds will be allocated toward our community programs like veterans on the water, Zig-Zag for disabled sailors, and our new frontline sailing program. It will also help to keep our programs affordable and helping those who need financial support. This donation came from a larger pool of funds donated from Target to nonprofits tied to the local community.

Join us and Friends of the Bay TONIGHT at 7 p.m. to learn about our Community Oyster Garden Program! Sign up with the Bayville Free Library on Monday, April 5th at 7 p.m. to learn about how you can help our local waters by gardening oysters.  Since 2017 hundreds of families, individuals, Boy and Girl Scouts, church groups, yacht, bathing, and garden clubs have planted tens of thousands of oysters on a protected spawner sanctuary in Cold Spring Harbor. As part of this presentation, you will learn about how oysters serve as “ecosystem engineers” improving water quality, enhancing habitat, and protecting shorelines from damaging storms. 

Again, to everyone who participated, spread the word, and shared the love, thank you!
