Sunset Serenade Hits Clifton Park Tonight
Sea Cliff, NY · August 6, 2026
A muggy morning hush rests over North Shore waters today, but local parks and downtown streets will be humming by late afternoon.
The Lead
The Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor is running its fifth year of community oyster gardening, with roughly 80 local volunteers caring for juvenile bivalves in floating cages across local docks and beach parks. Each adult oyster filters up to 50 gallons of water daily, helping reduce excess nitrogen and improve harbor clarity. Participants meet biweekly through September to scrub marine growth from cages, monitor shell measurements, and prepare the oysters for transition into protected sanctuary reefs. The program works alongside broader federal restoration grants that have seeded millions of oysters across North Shore bays in recent years. Volunteers gather again this week for cage maintenance, with thousands of mature oysters set for release into harbor sanctuary beds by late September.
