Summary
In this episode, we have the pleasure of interviewing Liz from the Billion Oyster Project and Mike from the Nature Conservancy. They discuss how New York used to be the oyster capital of the world, what caused the downfall, and what they are doing about it (and how other cities can do the same). Awesome episode with some really powerful information on the importance of oyster reefs.
