The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded Billion Oyster Project $825,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to construct and expand a 5-acre oyster reef at Bush Terminal Park in New York. The project will enhance water quality and biodiversity at the site while scaling Billion Oyster Project's existing pilot community reef by more than tenfold. Advanced reef structures, including bay balls, will provide shoreline protection against climate change and increased storm frequency. The expanded reef will enable on-water STEM education and green-jobs training for thousands of additional students and community members from South Brooklyn, building on current usage by over 1,000 students from Sunset Park, Park Slope, and Gowanus across 35 Title I schools in the region. The project serves as an environmental justice initiative, expanding recreational and educational access for the Sunset Park community waterfront.
