Waterfront Data: Bridging Science & Community on Randall’s Island
March 27 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join Randall’s Island Park Alliance and New York Sea Grant for a discussion on data sharing in the environmental field. Olivia Smith, Park-as-Lab Coordinator, will present on ongoing environmental monitoring projects on Randall’s Island, focusing on waterfront stewardship. The Park-as-lab website will be used as a model for sharing long-term datasets. Catherine Prunella, Water Quality Extension Specialist, will highlight community datasets on flooding and marine debris through the New York Sea Grant interactive dashboard. The event emphasizes the importance of community engagement in collecting environmental data and fostering collaboration among community members, non-profits, and academics.
After the discussion, join a brief guided tour of the Little Hell Gate Salt Marsh to see a restored ecosystem and participate in a microplastic sampling demo. All those interested in environmental science, community data collection, and ecological restoration are welcome!
Registration is required here.
