Karen has been growing Peconic Pearl oysters at the Trust's Shellfisher Preserve for several years, and helping us to educate the public about the importance of local mariculture and the impact of water pollution on this precious resource. Karen is responsible for bringing back the Peconic Pearl oyster to Long Island Sound, and she will be discussing her role in the preservation of the Sound, plus demonstrating to all just how to shuck an oyster! Tickets are $35/person, and includes one drink and a plate of oysters. $10 of each ticket sold will be donated to Slow Food NYC. $0.25 of every oyster sold will benefit the Peconic Land Trust.
