According to
The Waterfront Alliance:
City of Water Day
July 16, 2022
Located throughout the New York-New Jersey region
The 15th annual City of Water Day returns to the shores of the metropolitan
region on Saturday, July 16, 2022. A celebration of the waters that surround
us, and an opportunity to learn about the current and future impacts of
climate change and sea level rise, City of Water Day is organized by the
Waterfront Alliance, the NY-NJ Harbor & Estuary Program (HEP), and many
other partners. From boat rides to kayaking, from water quality workshops to
birdwatching walks, City of Water Day activities are free and open to all.
Underscoring the importance of a resilient and equitably shared waterfront,
dozens of shoreline communities in New York and New Jersey will produce
satellite In Your Neighborhood events on July 16, City of Water Day.
For the first time in 15 years, Roosevelt Island hosted a City Of Water Day
event
in front of the NYC Ferry Dock area.

attendees participated in water quality tests at the shores of Roosevelt
Island. Following the tests, our staff discussed why the results matter and
how scientists use these tests to determine the health of the waterways.

My first
#CityOfWaterDay
in the books! We had a blast out in Gowanus and Red Hook doing a walking
tour along the canal and building a floating garden to give oxygen back to
the water. Thanks to all the amazing volunteers and
#InYourNeighborhood
organizations who participated!

Great turnout for this event, despite heat, humidity, and a summer storm. My
favorite part was watching attendees gather around the canal (after walking
around for 2 hours) to watch minnows and a blue crab in the shallows. Life
is returning to this Superfund site!

Getting out for
#cityofwaterday
with
@SouthBronxUnite
& building community around waterfront access. Lincoln Avenue Street End
in Port Morris is inaccessible & crumbling – time for NYC to invest,
rebuild, & create new public spaces for the people.
