Thanks to Randy Austin from @nysdec for giving his Oil Spills 101 lecture last night @kingslandwildflowers

Randy has spent an entire career protecting NYC waterways, working to prevent and cleanup various types of spills and illegal dumping.

Always appreciate agency officials coming to share their work and engage with residents in ways they can help track and prevent pollution. Check out the How to Report Observations slide for some useful tips. ... See MoreSee Less

@riverkeeper Vice President and Patrol Boat Captain John Lipscomb said he picks up a plastic bottle every few hundred feet while out on the water. “The numbers of them are extraordinary that are out there on the [Hudson] River and on the shorelines,” he said. “It’s really sad.”

While encouraged by the plastic bag ban, he said he would love to see plastic bottles outlawed next.

In addition to being environmental hazards, plastic bottles also pose health risks, according to Lipscomb, who said humans inadvertently ingest plastic when the bottles disintegrate into thousands of micro plastic particles.

In Newtown Creek, for example, he said tests revealed that 60,000 to 80,000 micro plastic particles were found in every liter of water.
