Harbor School’s Oyster History• Harbor School and Baykeeper have been

working together to restore oysters to the Harbor since the school’s inception

• 2008: First generation Floating Upweller System built, 100,000 oysters on Governors Island

• 2009: The new Eco-dock was in place on Governors Island holding 500,000 oysters

Why Oysters?

Page 7: The Urban Assembly New York Harbor School

Oysters and our CTE Department• Oysters, and oyster projects are excellent

platforms for our Career Training classes• We hope to have all of our CTE classes

working together on this project• To date Aquaculture, Advanced Vessel

Operations and the Student Scientific Divers have collaborated in building and monitoring our reefs

• In the future we hope to include Marine Engineering’s remote operated vehicles and Marine Policy’s young writers

Diving Safely in New York Harbor• SCUBA instructors Joe Gessert and

Liv Dillon organized a Dive control Board made up of commercial divers

• This led to new protocols including full face masks, tethered dives, and safety divers ready at all times

• Currently Harbor School is in the process of becoming a scientific diver training facility

Page 42: The Urban Assembly New York Harbor School

• This project would not have been possible without the dedication of our divers

• Students and teachers routinely arrived on Governors Island hours before school, often while it was still dark

• Despite air temperatures below 40° and water temperatures below 50° all 250,000 oysters are down
