The Hare Lab is continuing to measure the timing and distribution of recruitment (juvenile settlement) of wild oysters in the Hudson River with collaborators like the Bioboat (Bill Livingston & Stephen Fleming), Yonkers Science Barge (Groundwork Hudson Valley) and the Billion Oyster Project. This summer we begin an exciting study with The River Project at Hudson River Park, testing hypotheses about why some piers in the park have eight times more oysters on their pilings than found by divers at other piers. Thanks to the New York State Water Resources Institute for funding.
