SUPPORTING THE BAYS.

We partner with people and projects that reseed the clam population (resource enhancement) in North Fork waters.

Since 2022, The Clamity Janes have been partnering with CCE Marine through their donation to their Strong’s Marina Stewardship location, assisting in the grow out of over 300,000 clams annually to be planted back into the Peconic Bay Estuary system. Find out more about this program here. We also volunteer with shellfish growers to assist selecting of broodstock in an effort to develop more resilient clams for market — in anticipation of changing climate conditions such as warmer waters that negatively impact shellfish population.

Whether you live here full time or live to visit on weekends and holidays, there’s plenty of ways you can support the bays. Fortunately, there are many groups actively working to keep the waters clean and biodiverse, preserve vital agriculture and aquaculture, support local small businesses and the hardworking bay men and bay women that keep East End tradition alive.

Please see any of the links below to see how you can donate, volunteer or purchase.
