      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - We can’t talk oceans without estuaries.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When we think of the ocean, we often picture vast, open waters. But the vibrance and wildlife of our open oceans begins where rivers meet the sea—in estuaries.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - Estuaries feed our oceans oxygen…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Their shallow, nutrient-rich waters allow sunlight to nurture plant life underwater, like salt marsh grasses and seagrasses which fuel and allow our oceans to breathe. While the primary productivity of a salt marsh only accounts for 10-15% of the oxygen in our oceans, they produce more than 20 times the oxygen per square meter compared to that of phytoplankton in the open ocean.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When these plants die and decompose, they become essential food sources at the base of ocean food chains. Nearly 50% of the energy feeding coastal fisheries originates from decomposing estuarine plants, powering the ocean's food web from the bottom up.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - and us.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Moving all the way up the food chain, estuaries support over 70% of commercial fish species that fill our markets and grocery stores with seafood.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - They nurse the ocean’s next generation.</image:title>
      <image:caption>These protected waters offer safe nurseries and abundant food, providing ideal conditions for juvenile fish and invertebrates before they head out into the open sea. Over 90% of all marine species depend on estuaries during critical points in their life cycles.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - They protect the ocean’s travelers.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Estuaries also provide crucial stopovers for millions of migratory birds and marine mammals like humpback whales. Nearly 75% of migrating fish species—such as salmon and sturgeon—use estuaries when moving between freshwater rivers and salty oceanic water.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - They keep our oceans biodiverse.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The gradients of salt content, plant life, water depth, and dynamic weather create an abundance of habitat that allow estuaries to produce and support the highest levels of biodiversity of any ecosystem on earth. Without estuaries, roughly 80% of all the life in and around our oceans would vanish completely.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - They help our oceans store carbon.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses trap "blue carbon" in their sediment, significantly mitigating climate change and ocean acidification. Though seagrass meadows cover just 0.1% of the seafloor, they store an impressive 10–18% of the ocean's carbon.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - They protect oceans from pollution…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Estuaries are the ocean’s natural buffers, trapping, redistributing and storing downstream pollutants, sediments, and runoff. Wetlands remove up to 90% of sediments and nitrogen that would otherwise suffocate corals, oysters, and seagrasses or fuel harmful algal blooms in the open ocean.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - and reduce erosion.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Estuarine habitats reduce storm surge and wave energy from pulling even more sediments and pollutants into the open ocean. They can reduce wave height by as much as 95% over the first 100 meters of marsh.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - They fostered our largest cities…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Humans, too, have also built their livelihoods on the productivity, resources, and waterfront access provided by estuaries. Including New York City, 22 of the world's 30 largest cities are located on or around estuaries.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - How Estuaries Shape Our Oceans—and Why That Matters - and they are disappearing.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Over the past two centuries, we've overharvested, landfilled, and/or paved over nearly two-thirds of the world’s estuary habitat. Before industrialization, global salt marshes covered approximately 100,000 square miles—roughly the size of Bangladesh. Today, less than 35,000 square miles remain.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - Black History is Oyster History on Staten Island - Prince’s Bay</image:title>
      <image:caption>Staten Island’s South Shore, near Sandy Ground Long before industrialization, Prince’s Bay was renowned for its abundant oyster beds. In the early 1800s, free Black oystermen from Maryland brought their expertise north and established prosperous businesses on Staten Island. Their enterprises thrived until 1916, when pollution and new restrictions on raw oyster sales crushed the industry—effectively erasing the longstanding leadership of Black oystermen in New York’s maritime economy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Location: 584 Bloomingdale Road Established in 1850, the Rossville A.M.E. Zion Church provided refuge for freedom seekers along the Underground Railroad. Protected by a strong community of oystermen and landowners, many formerly enslaved people found safe harbor here. The church’s cemetery dates to 1852 and holds over 500 graves of Sandy Ground residents, a poignant record of the generations who shaped this historic community.</image:caption>

Once one of 150 Black-owned homes and businesses in the area, the Coleman House stands as a testament to a thriving Black maritime economy rooted in faith, industry, and activism.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - Black History is Oyster History on Staten Island - The Sandy Ground Historical Museum</image:title>
      <image:caption>Location: 1538 Woodrow Road For more than 40 years, the Sandy Ground Historical Museum has led efforts to preserve and promote the community’s unique legacy—both as part of the Underground Railroad and as a cornerstone of New York’s oyster trade. Housed on what is likely the only intact 18th-century African burial ground in America, the museum safeguards the largest collection of Staten Island’s African American history, including art, quilts, letters, photographs, and rare books. Though currently closed to walk-ins for maintenance, the museum continues to offer educational programming online and outdoors.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - 2024 Community Water Quality Testing Program Results: Weekly Blog - Week 10: July 19</image:title>
      <image:caption>Woooo, happy mid-season! We are officially halfway done with CWQT 2024. This season the CWQT program is covering up to 92 sites each week, that's about 40 gallons of samples per week. This week Central Park received 3.17 inches of rain, which makes Week 10 the wettest week of the season so far. That said, almost all of our sample sites are unsafe for primary contact this weekend. Huge thanks to everyone who has participated with us this season. Let’s keep collecting those samples and finish off strong with even more data!</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - 2024 Community Water Quality Testing Program Results: Weekly Blog - Week 9: July 12</image:title>
      <image:caption>This week the National Weather Service issued a ‘flood watch’ for New York City due to expected heavy rain Friday night into Saturday morning. These flood watches often correlate with Combined Sewage Overflow (CSO) events because of the stormwater which overloads the system leading to flooding and CSO discharges. As of Thursday evening, Central Park had received .26 inches of rainfall this week, leaving 40% of our reporting sites unsafe for primary contact— this number will likely grow as the forecasted rain hits our area.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>From a severe thunderstorm Wednesday to a waterbody advisory alert Thursday morning the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) issued waterbody advisories for 28 of the 45 waterways in NYC. With a range of peak intensity rainfall per hour from 0.19 to 0.77 inches and total rainfall ranges from 0.21 to 0.91 inches, all the rain this week caused almost all of our CWQT sample sites to test with high enterococcus bacteria levels making the harbor unsafe for primary contact activities.</image:caption>

About 50% of reporting sites had bacteria levels safe for primary contact activities like swimming this week— a new high for this season, with previous high at about 40% during Week 3. With rain forecasted throughout the weekend, these numbers likely won’t last long. This week our partner labs and community scientists have collected data from new sites including East River Esplanade +Pool site, Arthur Kill, Conference House Park in Staten Island, and Gravesend Bay, CSO OH-015.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Another rainy Thursday— rain falling Wednesday night into Thursday morning triggered the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to issue waterbody advisories for 31 of the 45 waterways in NYC. While more waterbodies were under advisory than last Thursday, overall this week’s water quality was roughly the same. About 82.61% of all reporting sites had enterococcus levels unsafe for primary contact, compared to last week’s 83.75%. Use caution when recreating this weekend, and Happy World Oceans Week!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On Thursday morning the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) issued waterbody advisories for 26 of the 45 waterways in NYC. Over a 24 hour period, these parts of NYC experienced a peak rainfall intensity of .20 to .27 inches per hour, with total rainfall ranging from .32 to .80 inches. As expected, after 1.79 inches of rain in Central Park this week, over 75% of our CWQT sample sites are testing unsafe for primary contact activities.  Stay up to date with NYC DEP waterbody advisories by checking this page, or signing up for alerts from NotifyNYC.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Happy New York Water Week! Did you know the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has been celebrating NY Water Week for nearly 40 years? Running from May 12 - 18, this year’s theme is ‘water where you live.’ Let’s celebrate with some local surface water bacteria data! Central Park collected a total of .96 inches of rain this week, and about 50% of our reporting sites are in the red this week with enterococcus bacteria counts over 104 MPN.</image:caption>

Thank you to the countless community scientists, lab partners, and community organizations that have helped us collect over 11,800 samples since the CWQT pilot in 2011. Special shout out to this season’s 9 partner labs and 30+ samplers who brought us this weeks data. With .52 inches of rainfall in Central Park this week, .21 of which were on Wednesday, about 70% of reporting sample sites had bacteria levels above NYC Department of Health standards for ‘swimmable’ water. With more rain on the way, these bacteria concentrations will likely rise though the weekend.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Alexis is a poet, independent scholar, and activist. She describes herself as a Queer Black Troublemaker, Black Feminist, Love Evangelist, and an aspirational cousin to all sentient beings. She’s the author of Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals, a book-length meditation which won a 2022 Whiting Prize for nonfiction. This book speaks to the intertwined destinies of humans and marine mammals. Read this interview in The Nation to learn more, and follow her on Instagram. PHOTO BY: Sufia Ikbal-Soucet</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - The makings of Black history – on and under the water - Captain Zeita Merchant</image:title>
      <image:caption>Zeita is the current Commanding Officer of the U.S. Coast Guard in New York. In other words, the safety, security, and sustainability of the largest port on the East Coast rests on her shoulders. Three years ago, she became the second woman to hold this position, and she will soon become the highest-ranking Black woman in the Coast Guard. We love seeing Zeita on Governors Island every June for graduation at the New York Harbor School. In December 2022, this “Hero of the Harbor” awarded Harbor School alum Beni Nedrick with a Meritorious Public Service Award, after he saved seven people from a burning yacht on the Hudson River. Learn more about Zeita in a 2023 Waterfront Alliance Q&amp;A.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - The makings of Black history – on and under the water - Kim Macharia</image:title>
      <image:caption>As the Executive Director of Space Prize, Kim might not strike you as a maritime leader. But she is a “steminist” who has developed a newfound passion for being on boats and the water — many thanks to Manhattan by Sail. In addition to launching ambitious initiatives centered around Climate Change, Diversity &amp; Inclusion, and STEM, Kim draws parallels between the vastness of space and our oceans. She is currently co-organizing a Blue Mind Fest (info coming soon), set for May 18, 2024, aimed at celebrating the therapeutic benefits of being in, near, under, or around water. The day will conclude with an award ceremony called "Ripples of Change"!</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - The makings of Black history – on and under the water - Kevin Dawson</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kevin is the author of Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora, and a professor of African diaspora and Atlantic history at the University of California, Merced. His book — for which he received the Harriet Tubman Prize in 2019 — explores the West African traditions of swimming, diving, boatmaking, and canoeing. According to Kevin’s examination of water culture in the African diaspora, the aquatic abilities of people of African descent often surpassed those of Europeans and their descendants from the age of discovery until well into the nineteenth century.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - 2023 Community Water Quality Testing Results: Weekly Blog - Week 20: September 29</image:title>
      <image:caption>Happy week 20— big thank you to our 50+ samplers and 11 partner labs for a great CWQT season! This year we sampled and reported results for 88 sites, more than ever before in CWQT history. Anyone else notice we have had a lot of rainy weekends this year? If you are using CWQT data to plan upcoming recreational activities, please note this week’s data does not reflect bacteria levels after the 3-6+ inches of rainfall seen throughout NYC on Friday. Save the date: the end of season CWQT gathering is scheduled for October 26, 2023 from 6:00-7:30PM at Billion Oyster Project’s Williamsburg Field Station, 266 Kent Ave. We hope to see you there!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It is the second to last week of the 2023 CWQT season! Together this year we have collected 1,363 samples— a total of 36 gallons of water, which is only half as much water as the average bathtub holds. After 1.55 inches of rainfall in Central Park this week check out our results to see the water quality at your favorite sites in the Harbor. As rain is predicted tonight and through the weekend, enterococcus levels are sure to rise.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Happy halfway! We are officially at the midway point of the 2023 CWQT season. Central Park received 2.06 inches of rain this week, more than any week this season, which left many of our sample sites unsafe for primary contact. In new labs and sample site news— after a hiatus in 2022 we are excited to have the St. Francis College lab come back onboard last week, and thrilled to be receiving Gantry State Park samples at Billion Oyster Project’s lab thanks to HaborLAB volunteers. Thank you to everyone who has participated this season. Together we have collected over 600 data points!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Another rainless week! Central Park totaled only 1.28 inches of rain this May, about 68% less rainfall than the ‘normal’ rate of 3.96 inches reported by NOAA. With little rainfall, our first 3 weeks of results have brough us mostly swimmable results, even in places known to have chronic sewage pollution such as Newtown Creek. Check out the results for all 82 of our 2023 CWQT sites below.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As we have shared in the past, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is collecting information on water uses and all local water quality data dating back to 1975. These insights will inform the department's upcoming decisions to relax or strengthen water quality protections for the area. We urge you to submit information about how you use and access waterways throughout New York State on this interactive map produced by Riverkeeper, Save the Sound, and Pratt Institute Spatial Analysis and Visualization Initiative before Tuesday, October 18.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLOG - 2022 Community Water Quality Testing Results: Weekly Blog - Week 20: September 29</image:title>
      <image:caption>With 1.11 inches of rain falling in Central Park on Sunday and an otherwise dry week, many of our sites had a chance to clear up before sampling on Thursday. And with that, our 20 week sampling season has come to an end. Together we collected and processed over 1,100 samples this year, and our CWQT master data sheet hit a milestone of over 10,000 samples. Thank you so much to all of the samplers, lab techs, and site coordinators who made it happen! We hope to see you at the end of season CWQT party on Thursday, October 13 from 6-8PM at Billion Oyster Project's Williamsburg Field Station, 266 Kent Ave. We will have snacks, games, and brief presentations about NYC's water quality by the Billion Oyster Project team, John Jay College, Queens College, and more.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This week marks one year since Hurricane Ida devastated New York City. Although we have not had any storms this season, we continue to see drought conditions throughout the region. Through this juxtaposition we are reminded of the weather extremes we can expect as the climate crisis continues to impact our environment. With a mere .48 inches of rainfall recorded in Central Park this week, this has been our wettest week since early August. Beach closures were issued for Wolfe's Pond Beach, but many of our sites continue to see falling enterococcus levels. Questions, comments, or concerns? Contact us at our new email — waterquality@nyharbor.org.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Happy halfway! We have made it through 10 weeks of Enterococcus sampling — and we've got 10 more to go! Central Park got hit with 3.12 inches of rain this week, falling primarily on Saturday and Monday, triggering CSOs throughout the Harbor. Seems like that sewage stuck around at many sites. Did anyone else get their first alert from the DEP’s ‘Wait’ App this week?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The results from Week 4 of water quality testing in New York Harbor are not good... to say the least. The weather forecast looks lovely this weekend, but based on all the testing sites "in the red", you're going to want to delay plans to jump on a kayak or take a dip — especially near a CSO outfall. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to engage with our local waterfront at part of It's My Estuary Day.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>While it feels like we can't shake this rainy summer, only 0.28 inches of rain was measured in Central Park this week. Pretty mixed results across the harbor, but you may notice that main-channel sites with high amounts of current generally have better results than the tributary sites (i.e., Wallabout Channel or Anable Basin).</image:caption>

The samples that were taken seem to confirm that judgment. It was a red-number day at all but two sites, both of those on ocean-facing beaches on Staten Island.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In honor of Hurricane Henri's visit last weekend, we decided to do some extra sampling at four of our East River sites, in order to get a better sense of 'recovery time'--that is, how long it takes for bacteria levels in the water to return to acceptable levels. You can see from the graph below (or this results table) how the sites improved from Monday, when it was still raining, to Thursday.</image:caption>

Remember, we get our rainfall totals from the Central Park register, but precipitation varies throughout the city--and some places obviously got more. In any case, with Henri bearing down and hurricane season heating up, it's hard not to think we're going to see more rain this season, and thus continued high bacteria levels in the harbor.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There was almost no recorded precipitation in Central Park this week--only 0.4 inches last Sunday--so one might have expected our results to be mostly in the 'green' (in other words, meeting beach bathing standards). That didn't happen, probably for many reasons. In some places, there may be broken pipes or (illegal) dry-weather discharges, while in others the issue could be street cleaning, high winds stirring up sediment, or even excessive waterfowl populations. How to figure it out? More testing!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>1. Billion Oyster Project provides shell collection buckets for convenient storage 2. Our Shell Collection operator, The Lobster Place, empties your buckets (Monday through Friday) on a schedule that fits your needs. 3. The shells are dumped at a curing site, like the one pictured below on Governors Island. The shells are exposed to wind, rain, insects, and more for one year until they are clean enough to re-enter New York Harbor.</image:caption>
