New Protected Wetland in NYC

SI wetland

In today’s NYT, check out this article about the Parks Department’s newest project- Arlington Marsh in Staten Island. The 55-acre wetland parcel on Staten Island’s north shore will be cleaned up and protected, and is already home to a large assortment of wildlife, despite its less-than-pristine condition. The Arlington Marsh is especially exciting because it’s linked by the Kill Van Kull to another protected wetland on the nearby NJ coast called Mariner’s Marsh. This could be the start of a whole new prognosis for the heavily industrialized area.
