Our primary goal is to collaborate on a project that recycles oyster shells in order to restore Long Island oyster reefs, but our mission expands beyond this sole objective.
As C.O.R.E., the facets of our mission are as follows:
- To help raise environmental awareness about the importance of oysters in their ecosystems, and protect them from becoming threatened or extinct
- To encourage local restaurants to engage in ethical business practices
- To encourage citizens to reduce their individual environmental footprint
- To facilitate and encourage a transition towards sustainable business models
- To encourage a mindset that values biodiversity and the individual benefits that each species brings to the table
- To inspire participation in local environmental stewardship
