We aim to educate the local community about oysters and their place as a keystone species within Long Island Sounds rich biodiversity. 42009 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. 150032 true false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 19 0 true 7 false 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 LINDA BALDWIN 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 128853 76617 205470 18724 16257 2467 MERCHANDISE REVENUE 900099 172 172 172 208109 172 0 0 0 0 0 0 89624 89624 0 4316 228 4088 8567 8567 0 3075 3075 21400 21400 0 0 1012 1012 502 502 3808 1058 1491 1259 0 0 0 0 0 8894 4254 1470 3170 0 0 8376 8376 10270 9910 360 CONTRACTORS AND CONSULTANTS 30587 28587 2000 SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS 5786 5220 1 565 TRUCK, BOAT, AND EQUIPMENT 12686 11889 797 5059 103 344 4612 213962 150032 53964 9966 10225 46543 100 100 128441 80220 53688 22686 39378 31002 9187 13613 187331 171478 10000 10000 0 X 177331 149407 22071 177331 171478 187331 171478 -5853 X false false false X 63734 81486 524199 109411 205470 984300 2504 3001 2958 18896 27359 66238 84487 527157 109411 224366 1011659 10130 10130 10130 10130 1001529 0 0 0 0 66238 84487 527157 109411 224366 1011659 0.99000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 53688 22686 31002 31002 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests PREPAID EXPENSE 13613 13613 Federal income taxes VIVA LA SOUND 18724 18724 5702 3279 600 6676 18724 18724 5702 3279 600 6676 16257 2467 SALLY CONNOLLY OFFICER TO COVER OPERATING EXPENSES DURING REDUCED CASH FLOW X 10000 false true false Form 990, Part I, Line 1 CIORs mission is to restore the western Long Island Sound ecosystem in order to improve biodiversity, water quality, and coastal resilience by creating reefs of shells to encourage the population growth of the historically abundant oyster and other marine species around City Island.
