The bounteous shellfish in Oyster Bay, a hamlet on the North Shore of Long Island, are so iconic, they were extolled by Cole Porter in his song “Let’s Do It,’’ with its line about oysters doing it. While the lyric connotes cozy relations between the famously fertile shellfish, feelings among shellfishermen are decidedly less friendly. Locals describe them as the clam wars, with 2 sides waging a decades-long public battle over rights and practices in Oyster Bay Harbor, which remains the most productive shellfishing habitat in New York State. The dispute pits the baymen who hand-rake for clams against the Frank M. Flower & Sons shellfish company, which uses dredge boats to mechanically harvest the clams and oysters it farms on a swath of 1,800 acres leased from the Town of Oyster Bay. The baymen have raised numerous challenges about the legitimacy of Flower’s lease of the town’s prime shellfishing area, and its dredging, which the baymen claim threatens their livelihoods by damaging clam populations on nonleased areas. Flower has long called its dredging harmless, but now federal and state officials, responding to baymen’s complaints, are reviewing the company’s permits. @nytchangster photographed Bobby DeFeo collecting clams hand-raked from the bottom of #OysterBay. He opposes the dredging method favored by the Flower company. Visit the link in our profile to read more about the clam wars on #LongIslandSound.
