The Oysters
<p>In the final episode in our season on rewilding, we’re visiting New York Harbor. Commonly considered a high-traffic waterway beneath skyscrapers – New York Harbor actually was once one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. It was full of living reefs of molluscs that filtered the harbor and created a thriving habitat for other creatures. But as the city grew, the harbor fell silent. Today, New Yorkers are trying to reinvigorate a harbor rendered lifeless by replenishing the very population they destroyed a century ago: oysters. </p><br><p>Marcella Durand reads an excerpt of her poem, <a href="https://www.poetryproject.org/publications/newsletter/266-fall-2021/east-river-park-feature/the-ways-of-east-river-park" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Ways of East River Park</a>, about embracing a new form of urban ecosystem that brings humans into the habitat of the harbor.</p><br><p>Thank you to Earthjustice for supporting this season of As She Rises.
