  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦦🗽 A camera captured the first river otter sighting in the #Bronx River in over a century.

    Once treated as a city dumping ground, the #waterway lost #otters and #beavers to #pollution and #habitat loss. Decades of cleanup restored #oysters and beavers, now joined by this otter signaling active #ecosystem recovery.

  2. Recreational shellfish harvesters should be extra careful when collecting #oysters this weekend and next week to reduce their risk of illness. High temperatures are expected during the lowest tides of the year, creating conditions that can allow #Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria to grow quickly in oysters and increase the risk of illness from eating them raw or undercooked.

  3. Bought some oysters today and the woman at the register wanted to make sure I knew that two people recently died (flesh-eating bacteria) after eating some harvested in Louisiana. Very thoughtful of her. #oysters #bacteria #death #food #louisiana #vibrio
