Long-term project unfurling the secrets of eelgrass planting from the realm of science for the layperson, seeding meadows of the nature-based solution to the climate and biodiversity crises in the heart of New York City. Four trial sites (SUNY Maritime College and Soundview Park in The Bronx, Little Bay Park in Queens, and Conference House Park in Staten Island) were planted in August 2021 with a few friends. Much more to come :) .
Ongoing with the help of many partners, including Bart Chezar, Steve Schott of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County Marine Program, Rob Buchanan of The New York Harbor Foundation/Billion Oyster Project, SUNY Maritime College, and Willis Elkins of the Newtown Creek Alliance.
