We’re Helping to Save the Great South Bay.

WIth every swipe, click or tap, Merchants Who Serve are helping to save the Great South Bay on Long Island. There are three initiatives supported by MWS:

1) Creek Defender Program

The Bay is only as healthy as the waters flowing into it. Working together with municipalities, local organizations, schools, elected officials, and others, we patrol, identify areas in need, and clean up along the 50 creeks and rivers leading into the Great South Bay ensuring healthier waters enter the Bay.

2) Oyster Habitat Restoration

Our GSB Oyster Project will restore the oyster habitat to the Great South Bay promoting local aquaculture and a natural filtration system that will help keep the Bay clean. Our goal is to plant millions of oysters over the next five years.

3) Bay Friendly Habitat Restoration

We promote native habitat restoration through planting of native species, stormwater management and the utilization of eco-friendly maintenance techniques with the end goal of improving the quality of water that enters the Bay.
