In cooperation with the Billion Oyster Project, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection introduced 50,000 oysters to Jamaica Bay. Using porcelain recycled from public school toilets, the new oyster beds will hopefully create a self-sustaining population that will improve water quality and protect wetlands. A $48 million project is underway to expand the Bluebelt system on the south shore of Staten Island. Work also started on a $56.5 million project to improve water supply and wastewater infrastructure in the Canarsie and East New York neighborhoods of Brooklyn.
