A portion of the proceeds raised from events, sponsorship donations or other resources have been donated to the following;
The Long Island Oyster Growers Association is a local 501(c)3 Non-Profit. They are a community-based association representing the social, economic, environmental and political interests of Long Island Oyster Growers.
Half Shells for Habitat (H4H), which was initiated by Seatuck and a host of partners in 2018, is an island-wide program to recover oyster shells from restaurants for use in oyster and habitat restoration efforts.
The program was established to address the critical need to return oyster shells to Long Island’s estuaries. The shells provide vitally important substrate on which wild young oysters can attach and grow, and they help to combat coastal acidification by returning calcium carbonate to the water.
Save the Great South Bay is a local 501(c)3 Non-Profit that advocates for and implements real solutions that will help restore the bay, and with that, strengthen our South Shore communities.
The Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island, CRESLI, was formed for the purposes of conducting research, providing educational experiences and promoting the conservation of coastal ecosystems.
The Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program (ShiRP) was created in 2012 to combat the deterioration of Shinnecock Bay. Their goal is to use science, outreach, and partnerships to restore the water quality and fisheries of Shinnecock Bay.
ShiRP collects all of the oyster & clam shells at the annual oyster festival which will eventually become part of the oyster reef in Shinnecock Bay.
