The Hudson River Park Trust was awarded a $750,000 Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469). The funding supports a four-year community monitoring project to assess the efficacy and environmental impacts of the Gansevoort Peninsula Habitat Enhancement Project. The project will conduct rigorous field research on oyster health, estuarine ecosystems, water quality, and salt marsh conditions. It will also develop an education curriculum to engage students, interns and volunteers in project sampling and analysis, helping participants develop technical STEAM skills and strengthen training protocols.
