Sentinels of Shoreline Change Over the next three years, Gateway will partner with Brooklyn College to create a citizen science field observation program called "Sentinels of Shoreline Change." The project will develop protocols to monitor the resilience of Jamaica Bay, an urban estuary. Participants – students, teachers and eventually community organizations - will provide scientists and resource managers with measures of the bay's resilience to human activities and climate change. Funded by the National Science Foundation's SENCER-ISE program (http://sencer.net), the project will address the overarching civic need to engage students and the community in understanding the resilience of Jamaica Bay to climate change and human activities in the Jamaica Bay watershed.For more information, e-mail us. |
