The Southampton Arts Center presents Restorative Oysters: Celebrating Our Local Waterways & Aquaculture Industry on Sunday, June 13, at 6 PM.
The evening celebrates local waterways and offers a chance to learn more about community oyster growing and the commercial aquaculture industry, featuring several panelists from partner organizations including Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) Marine Program, Group for the East End, Peconic Baykeeper, and local oyster growers.
This event features two panel discussions on clean water and septic solutions, and aquaculture and oyster farming. An oyster tasting in partnership with the Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program will take place on the lawn, as well as a short film program highlighting CCE Marine’s SPAT Program.
This program is part of the exhibit “EARTH – Artists as Activists,” on view though July 11. The intention of this exhibition is to creatively confront the threats to our environment, bringing forth a collective effort to inspire action.
