We aim to educate the local community about oysters and their place as a keystone species within Long Island Sounds rich biodiversity. 88514 OYSTER REEF CIOR has been funded to select two sites for oyster reefs from five potential locations around the island that were identified by an extensive survey of existing oyster populations around City Island. CIOR monitored the five sites and the data on oyster growth and mortality from those sessions was used to inform the selection of the two sites. The plans and designs for the oyster reefs at those sites are now being presented for sign off and permitting. Now that the two sites have been selected, specially engineered structures will be put in place, and cured shell material will be added in order to promote reef formation. In addition, CIOR has partnered with local City Island restaurants to collect their discarded shells in 32-gallon bins and bring them to a curing site at the Pelham Bay Landfill. The shells are placed on the grass-covered soil on top of one another to a height of two feet and regularly turned to provide sufficient airflow. No chemicals are used in the curing process, which takes up to twelve months. 217194 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false true false false false false false NY X BARBARA ZAHM 9148827963 88 HORTON STREET CITY ISLAND NY 10464 X MARIA CARUSO BOARD MEMBER 005.00 X 0 0 0 HAILEY CLANCY PHD BOARD MEMBER 010.00 X 0 0 0 ANN HENDERSON PHD BOARD MEMBER 005.00 X 0 0 0 SALLY PAGE CONNOLLY CHAIR 030.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE CAREW VICE CHAIR 015.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA ZAHM PHD TREASURER 015.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA BURN DOLENSEK SECRETARY 010.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 38500 488657 527157 527157 10005 10005 0 0 0 0 0 56629 56629 0 0 4324 4324 0 0 3175 3175 0 0 0 5575 702 4873 2347 2347 0 0 1530 1530 2767 2767 0 0 0 0 0 6354 6354 CONTRACTORS AND CONSULTANTS 106886 106886 SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS 9803 8999 804 TRUCK, BOAT, AND EQUIPMENT 13028 13028 EVENT EXPENSES 3388 2853 535 770 770 226581 217194 3175 6212 7899 70041 243839 11810 11810 7903 7899 321783 23922 0 23922 X 7899 26860 271001 7899 297861 7899 321783 300576 -10614 X true X false true false X 12261 8753 63734 81486 524199 690433 1653 1070 2504 3001 2958 11186 13914 9823 66238 84487 527157 701619 701619 0 0 0 0 13914 9823 66238 84487 527157 701619 X 0.00000 0.00000 false 11810 11810 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes X 600457 73300 73300 527157 527157 299881 73300 73300 226581 226581 X 2 THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS ONLY IF THOSE POSITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED.
