Billion Oyster Project’s Annual Student Symposium

On the eve of World Oceans Week, Billion Oyster Project will host a Student Symposium. This annual gathering is an exciting opportunity for New York City students to showcase their research, learning, and projects related to their local waterways.

This year, we are excited to accept a wide variety of projects related to New York Harbor. Projects may include, but are not limited to: art, design, engineering, scientific research, advocacy, environmental justice, recorded interviews, and more. As always, we welcome students to think outside the box!
