This trip is part of a long-running collaboration between Billion Oyster Project, Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park and NBCB.   We canoe down to the inlet, pull up and transport oyster cages to volunteers on the shore of Bushwick Inlet Park who measure and weigh them (to track growth) and return cages before paddling home.

This trip may open for qualified members when we get a sense of how many BOP and FBIP participants there are.  Please contact Dewey if you're interested/have questions.
