Evening at Molly Maguire's in Rumson Benefits Baykeeper

NY/NJ Baykeeper hosted a fundraiser at Molly Maguire's in Rumson, NJ Saturday July 12. Guests enjoyed a raw bar consisting of oysters and peel and eat shrimp as well as entertainment provided by "The Sundries." All proceeds went towards the Baykeeper. 

About the Baykeeper: Oysters are vital to the ecological integrity of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary, which is why Baykeeper works on restoring oyster beds in NY and NJ. Baykeeper utilizes a two-prong strategy to achieving oyster restoration. This includes utilizing Oyster gardening to provide a reproductive stock to the reef and jump-starting the reef structure using Remote setting where oysters are already attached to a substrate or rebar structure. This work results in the restoration of hundreds-of-thousands of oysters to the Estuary ecosystem allowing keystone species to begin playing its natural role in cleansing our waterways.
