VOICED : NY busca recuperar su titulo de capital mundial de las ostras

The video discusses the historical significance of oysters in New York, their decline by the early 20th century, and the ongoing efforts to restore their population. A project aims to reintroduce a billion oysters by 2035, which has already seen positive ecological impacts, such as increased biodiversity and improved water quality. Oysters play a crucial role in filtering water, supporting marine life, and protecting against natural disasters.
