In an effort to study and boost the local clam and oyster population, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board approved a temporary 6-month shellfish harvesting moratorium on 1,850 acres of underwater land in Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor.
The area was previously leased and harvested by a commercial shellfish harvesting company.
