They say the world is your oyster. But here at NY/NJ Baykeeper, we say that #oysters are our world! We're obsessed with these bivalves & for good reason! Oysters protect our coastlines against erosion, are natural water filters & add habitat for marine life! #NationalOysterDay

Today is #nationaloysterday. #Oysters are “ecological superheroes” for many reasons - they filter water, create habitat for up to 300 species, and help prevent erosion. Thanks to all who work to restore oyster reefs. Let's celebrate these eco-superheroes every day!
