Today we talk about the amazingly central role oyster reefs have played in the human and more-than-human worlds, from pre-colonial times, through the development of NYC and the promise they hold for the future - ecologically, culturally and even infrastructurally!
Today's guest Tanasia Swift is an urban environmental leader, SCUBA diver, and proud Brooklyn native working at the intersection of climate justice, education, and marine restoration. As the Assistant Director of Community Engagement at Billion Oyster Project, she leads programs that connect New Yorkers to the waterfront and cultivates partnerships across the city’s diverse communities. With over a decade of experience in environmental education and project management, she’s developed citywide programs, trained field educators, and contributed to oyster reef restoration both above and below the waterline. Tanasia is a certified PADI Rescue Diver, a Women Divers Hall of Fame associate, and a passionate advocate for community science. When she’s not building reef programs or mentoring new environmentalists, she’s exploring NYC’s local waters.
