One Artist's Quest to Create the Ultimate Habitat for the Urban Oyster http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/06/prweb2591764.htm New York City was once known as the "oyster capitol of the world", with its water systems boasting 350 square miles of oyster reef. Now it has none. NYC environmental artist MARA G. HASELTINE, who created NYC's first Solar powered oyster reef, wants to change that. Haseltine's focus lies on bringing Crassotrea Virginica, or New York's native oyster, back to New York's estuaries. This would create a natural filtration system, cleaning the waters--like a natural water treatment plant-- while simultaneously replenishing biodiversity that has been missing in New York's waters for nearly a century.
