Billion Oyster Project: Rebuilding New York Harbor

One oyster can filter 50 gallons of water a day! If you think that's mind-boggling, wait until you find out how the Billion Oyster Project is restoring oysters to New York City's waterways through public education initiatives, and rebuilding this natural resource and habitat in front of our eyes.

An amazing initiative! Who knew oysters did so much important work. This is when the Royals are at their best — when they are highlighting hopeful and helpful directions for the future 💕

How wonderful! Without Prince William highlighting this project i wouldn't know about it. What a fantastic positive contribution to the ecology of our planet the billion oysters is. Young people need hope for the future, and knowledge of how they can participate in positive outcomes not focusing on the negative like others do. Well done all! ❤

I live in the US and knew nothing about this. Thank you to the Prince and Princess of Wales for educating everyone about what is going on around caring for our planet. It is definitely one of the most important topics that affects us all. I hope this channel continues to grow so that more people can become knowledgeable about these efforts and what part we can plan in helping. Well done.
