The oyster reefs in the water at this location are in man-made cages, created and managed by the Billion Oyster Project. Oysters are filter feeders, meaning they filter through the water to remove algae, to eat, and often filter out pollutants as well. The oyster reefs also provide habitat for hundreds of species and can help protect New York City from storm damage.


New York Harbor School Marine Affairs students will engage with partners to map Governors Island and its Climate Engagement. Students will create a Green Maps of Governors Islands' Relationship to SDGs - the Sustainable Development Goals, climate education, climate change vulnerabilities, innovation approaches to climate solutions, and bring waste to the visible eye. These maps will aid in students engaging in their community, displaying incorrectness and education to the public during climate week. Student-led and student-created. This will be something that will live and evolve each climate week as our city and world revolve around emerging climate issues. This student will swing back to update and evaluate our local and global progress.
