@JustinBrannan And soon we’ll be swimming in it!

For a city of islands, our relationship with the water has always felt strangely detached—at least in the modern era. We walk or jog beside it, cross over or pass under it. Like a neighbor beyond a fence: so close, yet so far. Part of why I love our ferry system so much.

There’s no better winter wonderland than Central Park! You can help our Conservancy crews by respecting closures, making space for our staff and steering clear of snowplows, and avoiding walking on frozen water bodies, untreated pathways, and under trees. Stay warm and safe! 💚

Eagle-eyed cops to the rescue. While patrolling the Hudson River earlier this morning, our Harbor Unit officers spotted an injured bald eagle floating on the ice and calling out for help. They acted quickly and brought the bird to safety.

One of the nation’s most ambitious urban coastal protection projects is taking shape along Lower Manhattan’s East Side. The East Side Coastal Resiliency project combines flood protection, an elevated park and innovative construction strategies to protect vulnerable communities while enhancing daily life along the waterfront. Delivered in partnership with @NYCDDC , this project shows how resilient infrastructure can be seamlessly integrated into active urban environments — strengthening protection without sacrificing access, mobility or public space.

People coming together to create things for their city is a thing. ✌️ Gotham Park is “what can happen when a group of ordinary people take notice of what you might call the civic furniture around them and decide to transform the place where they live.” . nytimes.com/2026/02/17/hea…

This sure has made measuring the mud line to the bedrock a challenge for us! Unprecedented challenges for an unprecedented project. #dreamingofsummer

@Earthjustice This was the second time that Mr. Trump opened a marine national monument to commercial fishing.

“There should be a transparent rule-making process that allows for full public participation, including participation by scientists who know far better than the president what is consistent with protecting these important marine resources,” said David Henkin @Earthjustice

The area spans ~ 4,913 square miles and covers three underwater canyons and four underwater mountains known as seamounts. It is home to at least 10 dolphin species and 13 whale species, including the endangered sperm whale, sei whale and fin whale.

The New York Botanical Garden’s Urban Conservation team made a great (Blender?) landscape of New York City ca. 1609 They also used British records to reconstruct, block-by-block, which plants and animals lived in the pre-megalopolis estuary

Earlier this evening, members of our Scuba Team, Aviation Unit, Emergency Service Unit, and the @FDNY rescued three individuals from frozen waters in Far Rockaway. No matter the conditions, our officers are always ready to answer the call.
