A New Oyster Reef Takes Root in Three Mile Harbor | East Hampton, NY 🦪
This June, a powerful community collaboration is transforming the waters of Three Mile Harbor. The East Hampton Town Shellfish Hatchery, South Fork Sea Farmers, local students, and restaurants have come together to build the fourth non-harvestable oyster reef in the area—just off Swans Marina.

This living reef, made from reclaimed oyster shells and seeded with hatchery-grown spat, will help filter thousands of gallons of water and provide vital habitat for marine life. It's part of a growing movement to restore water quality and biodiversity across the East End.

Behind the scenes, hatchery staff worked through the winter to raise the young oysters, while local high school students and volunteers prepared the reef materials using shells donated by Il Buco, Bostwick’s, Rowdy Hall, Almond, Lunch, Shark Bar, and the Billion Oyster Project.

The reef will be unveiled at a special community event on June 21.
