The Town of Islip is proud to announce Shellfish Cultivation Facility tours, now open to the
public.
These guided tours will show where and how we work to cultivate shellfish seed through lifecycle
(from spawning to full grown), and will discuss topics such as the Town’s involvement in
restoration efforts, aquaculture, as well as our participation in research and education
initiatives with local universities and non-profits.

Tours will be hosted every Thursday from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, for the first five (5)
individuals to submit the sign-up form via the button below. Local schools and non-profit
organizations who wish to schedule a private tour,
may do so by contacting the Hatchery directly at (631) 595-3680 or Shampson@islipny.gov.
