Fighting Climate Change with 1 Billion Oysters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Oysters are good for more than just eating on the half shell: in New York City, they're helping restore and preserve the harbor. An adult oyster can filter up to fifty gallons of water a day, and oyster reefs foster biodiversity and help protect shorelines. The Billion Oyster Project is on a mission to repopulate NY’s Harbor with 1 billion oysters by 2035, the same number that have disappeared from its waters over the past 100 years.
BOP collects used oyster shells from restaurants and repurposes them for oyster larvae to attach onto, then drops oyster cages into NYC’s waters to grow. Through various educational programs, the organization fosters local climate activism and helps empower young New Yorkers by teaching them about the city’s often overlooked natural resources.

I'm glad she said they weren't eating them. Using them for cleaning the bay sounds better. Eating oysters out of New York Bay sounds like a new disease/virus waiting to happen.
@UC7qi6N14uJnZPc6YZgYpTBQ oh and in that time all the pollutants the cell structure has used to build the oyster, just disappear right?
Tell you what.
You eat them. I'll stick to the ones I pray off rocks in clean water.
Enjoy
@UC7qi6N14uJnZPc6YZgYpTBQ noice
Maybe in a 100 years as the waters around NYC gets cleaner (hopefully). Whales and such are coming back in numbers (unheard of when I was living there) so that's a good sign.
@@jinjitronic7457 works about as much well as praying the gay away, huh?
Beat me too it
The essential of the ecosystem
I don't know who needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving money. Invest some part of it, if you really want financial freedom.
Invest in bitcoin, gold, silver, buy stock, forex market, commodities. Just invest and save yourself.
Hey dude, this is 2020. People who aren't even traders make money from the crypto and forex markets and moreover there are already financial analysts and trading experts(PhDs) who have shelled out theories and ideas for years on how bit coin technically grows.
Exactly, Very Good point ✌🏻
If you think you're too lazy to trade or learn how to trade, just know I have some friends who invest in a platform where and experts devotes their time and help them trade and they get paid profit every week
this is such a great project i would love to volunteer a true comeback story!
Thanks Paul! We have a few more volunteer spots left this season. We'd love to see you on Governors Island: sforce.co/36no9dz
Y’all need to actually watch the video before commenting lol they clearly said they’re replacing oysters to the coast for ecological reasons and they’re not for consumption 😂
0:30 the helicopter's blades match the camera's frame speed thats awesome
The title of this video is really stupid, but your comment got me to watch the first 30 seconds before quitting. Bravo!
This is badass. I love that stewardship is cool again.
Thank you! It is definitely super cool and fun
@@illusionr8396 youre involved?
New york bay is disgusting. I'm glad someone is trying to clean up the place.
This so great! Love regenerative practices!
Fantastic video and very well put together. Billion Oyster Project does great work educating and restoring our harbor here in New York City!
Thanks Glomani!
Class of 2016 Graduate of the New York Harbor School. God, I miss it.
My favorite non-profit organization!
Oh yes! Sounds like a wonderful plan.
Phew... I thought they were eating em... really interesting idea and project
Till when are they kept in the cages , and are they released after they mature ?
Hi Vivek! Thanks for the question. The various structures we use to house oysters make it possible for us to monitor them with students and community scientists. In some locations, the oysters grow so well that when we check on them they have grown through the openings to the point that you can't see the structure! For now, our oysters remain in the structures indefinitely.
why? are you plugging for 'cage free' oysters?
It's cool but if you can't eat the oysters why this be on Munchies?

paycho Jay lmao okay, make sure to tell your kids to have fun on the burning planet you’re leaving them with
@@tlacuache4448 lmao okay, make sure to tell your kids that they are all going to die in a fiery hellscape in 25 years... like has been predicted by "scientists" every 25 years for the last 100 years...
@paycho Jay Yeah trust a RUclips comment by someone by the name of psycho jay to be sensible and knowledgeable regarding climate change
Source: bro trust me bro i finished high school bro I'm serious bro
this is amazing
Such amazing work!
We need to learn about projects like this! Thanks MUNCHIES 🥺🥰
Why? You can't eat any of them.
@@jinjitronic7457 dumb
Yummy! Who's craving for some oysters now?
Me too with a hit of hot sauce
Maybe, but not THOSE New York bay oysters
Haha so funny contrarian moment funny please laugh haha
COOL !!!!
Very cool
This is very interesting and informative, right on!
So cool
If this project included actual oyster farms that sell oysters for consumption, they’d have BILLIONS of oysters already.
I saw a good video. 3R Movement for a Resource Recycling Society (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).... Fighting~~~^^
Great Video ... The more oyster content the better
I hope you guys get there
AWESOME
Awesome
My mind broke when I saw the helicopter at 0:30
Glad They’re doing something good 😌👍
If you plan an interview, it makes sense to disinfect the equipment, then social distance, then take of your mask and do a normal interview like a normal human being. So much propaganda/ so little time😄
Love this
AMAZING !!!!
should profanity and recycling go hand in hand? Yt just cursed at me and then linked your video
Lol the helicopters blades at 0:29 look like they aren't spinning at all.
this is amaaaaaazing
Filter cleaners help water quality
All those homeless New Yorkers going to eat them
Grifters
Yes, yes, yes. Amazing!
oysters are awesome
Great project and good work but this girl cannot start a sentence without saying "..and so..."
Wow this is fascinating!!! How can I help in my Midwest community?
Great project! Good on you! ❤️ (I notice more women than men. Coincidence?)
fire your audio guy
They were being too pretentious to take off their masks to allow clear audio. Virtue signalling over quality.
not that at all sheep. he just needed to balance the levels a little better. believing that wearing a mask is more pretentious than not wearing a mask is hilarious
Anyone who has eaten at an over rated restraunt in NYC has eaten trash
Love this kind of stuff, good job people
Fhc
Jet ski in the harbor are you nuts just play in your own toilet.
young people like these give me a lot of hope for the future.
Your forgetting substance, SeaWeed and Seaweed is key with Oysters.
And seaweed is also a great source of carbon sequestration
They are filter feeders 🤷♂️. They don’t eat seaweed
matanuska high It’s not about eating them. Carbon pollution causes ocean acidification, which is detrimental to the health of oysters and other ocean creatures. Growing kelp alongside oysters helps to sequester carbon and neutralize the water so that the oysters can be healthier
doesnt plastic cage cause microplastic?
Awesome project, go oysters go!!
What a great project! Didnt know oysters can help climate change. Go team!
Lol. They don't. It's just a click bait headline.
They say nothing of climate change the entire video 😂😂
Oyster reefs can (and should) be part of an integrated solution to lessen the impacts of climate change. We also believe that the key to acknowledging climate change and changing our behavior is elevating the position of NY Harbor in our collective consciousness. Many New Yorkers forget that we live in a coastal city! What better way to grow fond of something than working together to make it better?
Mutant oysters attack NYC
Will the oysters be safe to eat?
Its so rare to see 4m on youtube
Where is Pete in this video?
Illusion Rivera?
🛍️🛍️🛍️🛍️🛍️🛍️🛍️
Where do the oysters come from?
A mommy oyster and a daddy oyster who love each other very much.....
Excellent video. Tanasia Swift killing the game!!!
Agreed!
I was going to come out of my *SHELL* here with an Oyster pun..
But I'd hate to be a *clinger on!*
D-bag.
wow that's a lot of work. more power to you and your team
Why they talking with masks when there's no one in front of them and they're outside???????
Lefty Mc, back in April, 25,000 New Yorkers died from COVID. They don’t play around up there

That black chicks up speak was horribly annoying
@Munchies congratulations on 4 million subscribers! 💪
Climate change lol
People actually think its real🤣😭
One doesn't own emotion, and when one is owned by emotion, it's a reflection of one's belief that one owns them ❤️
Wtf are you on about mate
Oysters are what I like to call “sea snot”. Nonetheless this is awesome.
Shout out me please!
1. Old news. 2. Can't eat the polluted oysters so this shouldn't be on Munchies.
It's their effort to virtue signal, to demonstrate their relevance, to demonstrate they're not just a non-essential, fluff media outlet.
Oil company makes 8 billion 2019.
Oil spill gets fined 7k
But climate change is our fault kek.
Didn't realise oil which separates from water was the reason we had climate change.
I'll try to eat less fatty meats from now on. All that fatty oil we crap out is causing the issues!
And lol. Saying kek like it's a point.
You missed that train 6 years ago little one.
@@jinjitronic7457 crude oil lmao
@@Chris-eo1bp oh not refined oil we use in the form of diesel and petroleum?
Awesome!
Crude oil we dont even burn so nice!
As you said... lmao
@@Chris-eo1bp crude oil spills don't worry the climate. They destroy ecosystems, easy enough. Yet they barely even touch on global warming, climate change, etc etc.
Lmao
Oh sorry. I meant to add this.
Lmao
Who's paying for all of this?
Donations
Hi: I am eating raw oysters. Isn't my MUZZLE pretty?
Lol wot
Oysters are like reefs? 😂😂
As someone who grew up with both the great barrier reef and oysters... oysters are nothing like a reef.
Oysters also do almost nothing other than consume pollutants in heavy pollution areas.
Hence why... they aren't eating these oysters. Because they live in absolute filth. They eat the filth, they become the filth.
Much like humans who eat junk for years. They become unhealthy.
So how in the world does this deal with climate change? Honestly. I've heard how these oysters are developed and put in the water. Which is great, don't get me wrong. It helps the eco system.
Yet oysters have almost nothing to do with the climate of the world, as almost 90% of species have nothing to do with the climate of the world.
Never been so early on a video!! 3rd
Pollution. The best oysters come from clean water
they said these aren't to be eaten but rather are used as a filtration system to lessen that pollution
I can't take anybody who wears a mask outside serious. Unsubscribed.
