Testing out new iterations of #livingdock designs with partners from @laguardiacc

The decking above the docks floatation has been turned into a small “upland” planting area for spartina patens a native high marsh grass.

We look forward to seeing how these plants do and continually improving the design of the grass rafts to accommodate as much habitat as possible.

Yesterday’s rainstorm brought over 2 inches of rain to areas along #newtowncreek

As a result, today’s water sampling recorded extremely low salinity levels in various parts of the waterway. Typically in dry weather, salinity throughout the surface waters of the Creek is around 20 parts per thousand. This morning, the head of Dutch Kills, near multiple #combinedseweroverflow and storm water discharge pipes had a reading of 3.6 ppt!

We expect the results from our bacteria testing with @laguardiacc to be off the charts, but have to wait until tomorrow to find out (post incubation).
