The Urban Assembly New York Harbor School, a marine biology-focused public high school located on Governors Island, has pledged to restore a billion oysters to the harbor by 2030 through its Billion Oyster Project.
The project is giving students a hands-on education about marine biology and will help preserve native marine species for decades to come.
The school has partnered on the project with Verizon, which is contributing equipment and technology - such as a self-cleaning underwater camera and Verizon's 4G LTE network, which the students are using to collect data.
