Ep87- How Technology is Helping Restore New York City's Oyster Reefs
Update: 2023-08-22
Description
Dell Technologies helps drive sustainability by providing technology alongside The Billion Oyster Project. The Billion Oyster Project is restoring New York City's reefs by collaborating with local restaurants and utilizing their discarded oyster, clam, and scallop shells as substrates for new oyster colonies. With the belief that one adult oyster can filter 50 gallons of water per day, the project estimates that one billion oysters can cleanse the entire harbor within three days, removing pollutants and nitrogen that leads to dead zones. This initiative aims to create a positive cycle where waste helps revive oyster populations, ultimately restoring the health of the city's waterways previously damaged by human and industrial waste.
