Skye Tanzmann and Nick Cooper of East Hampton High School, were recognized for their efforts to build an oyster reef in Accabonac Harbor waters. Ms. Tanzmann is also the recipient of this year’s annual scholarship from the East Hampton Town Trustees Scholarship Fund. This past Spring, Tanzmann and Cooper interned with the not-for-profit South Fork Sea Farmers.
The Trustees were provided with an in-depth plan for the oyster reef project by Ms. Tanzmann earlier in the year, encouraged by the student’s thorough research and procurement of necessary state permits. We wish Ms. Tanzmann and Mr. Cooper the best and great success as they head off to their respective schools this Fall!
