Restoring NYC\u2019s Harbor, One Oyster at a Time<\/h3>

How do you restore 100 years of damage to NY Harbor\u2019s Oyster Reef? NY Harbor was home to over 200,000 acres of oyster reefs before the last operating oyster company shut down in 1927. Oysters are a crucial component of global ocean health and without them, bring challenges to water quality, underwater vegetation, waterfront protection, and the local economy.<\/p>

Join this session to learn more about Billion Oyster Project\u2019s mission to rebuild this important natural resource and habitat. Since 2014, BOP has restored 100 million oysters, collected 2 million oyster shells, and engaged over 8,000 NYC students in the project. Hear from Pete Malinowski about BOP\u2019s mission, impact, and community engagement in restoring New York\u2019s oyster reef.<\/p>

Impact Washing: The Great Risk to Growing the Impact Investing Industry<\/h3>
\u00a0<\/div>
As more and more capital is deployed into impact investments, particularly from large mainstream asset managers, there is a growing fear that the impact investing label is being abused and the intentionality of true impact could get diluted or lost within the noise. This could lead to fewer dollars being catalyzed to invest in solutions to solve social and environmental problems. This session will discuss how impact investors are seeking discipline, improved impact reporting practices, and impact verification to avoid and eradicate impact washing.<\/div>
