The Stormwater Infrastructure Matters (SWIM) is a coalition dedicated to ensuring swimmable and fishable waters around New York City through natural, sustainable stormwater management practices – called green infrastructure – in our neighborhoods. This approach is environmentally and fiscally responsible because it utilizes stormwater, currently viewed as waste, as a resource.

SWIM Coalition member organizations endorse a truly sustainable view of watershed management, one that restores ecological systems, creates local economic opportunities and equitably distributes the benefits of green infrastructure (GI). Learn more about their work on their site here.

Join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a virtual Superfund 101 workshop for the Meeker Avenue Plume Superfund site on December 1, 2022, from 6 pm-8 pm EST via Zoom to learn more about it!

Newtown Creek Alliance and the Dutch Kills Loop team invite you to come lend a hand as we tackle cleaning a large section of shoreline along the Dutch Kills Tributary of the Newtown Creek in LIC, Queens.

We will be working to clear a new section of shoreline of longstanding trash and debris.
