Randall’s Island Park’s Repository
The data repository for Randall’s Island Park serves as a resource hub – a compilation of the ecological and environmental monitoring and assessments performed on the island by the Alliance’s staff and community collaborators. Through this repository, researchers, students and community members can access detailed data sets, reports, and analyses, facilitating further research questions, informed decision-making, and strategic planning.
RIPA’s Natural Areas team monitored two locations to record bird calls during dawn and dusk from April-June, analyzing the recordings using BirdNET analyzer to document bird population presence and composition. This data will inform management practices in the natural areas of the island.
