Climate Change and Coastal Resilience in NYC with Waterfront Alliance!

Join Waterfront Alliance for a presentation and activity looking at coastal resilience around the New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary! An environmental educator will walk students through a presentation on the harbor-estuary surrounding NYC, as well as the different types of physical and social infrastructure that help make communities resilient in the face of climate change. We will also be exploring an activity that lets students map out the resilient features of the neighborhood they live in.
