New York: There are several research initiatives being conducted in New York’s coastal waters:
New York State Water Resources Institute (NYSWRI) at Cornell University: The NYSWRI supports robust science and dialogue between researchers, managers, policymakers, and the general public to improve water management. They conduct original research and outreach on topics of local, state, and national importance.
New York Ocean Action Plan (OAP): The OAP aims to restore, strengthen, and maintain the ecological integrity of the state’s ocean ecosystem, including estuaries and coastal waters. The plan promotes an integrated and adaptive approach where management decisions are informed by the best available science.
Coastal Acidification and Harmful Algal Blooms: This project aims to determine how harmful algal blooms (HABs) in New York waters respond to coastal acidification, how current and future climate change conditions will affect these HABs, and how the co-occurrence of these HABs with acidification will impact economically and ecologically important fish and shellfish.
School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University: The school uses New York coastal waters as a laboratory for assessing human impacts on the coastal seas and understanding land/sea interactions at all levels.
Shark Research: A team of scientists is expanding research about sharks and their populations in the region due to the lack of evidence about shark biology, their prey, and changes in the ecosystems of New York area coastal waters.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory: Engineers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory are exploring the deep ocean to search for clues of what oceans on other planets could look like, and push the limits of science and technology in one of the most extreme environments on our planet. Deep-sea Discoveries: Scientists have made some intriguing discoveries exploring the deep sea. From gigantic seamounts and the deepest-dwelling fish to a mysterious golden orb and puzzling methane leaks, here are some of the best deep-sea discoveries.
Researchers at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering have made a significant breakthrough in the field of desalination research. They have improved the Redox Flow Desalination (RFD) system, an emerging electrochemical technique that can convert seawater into drinkable water and also store affordable renewable energy.
Ocean Conservancy: They organize the International Coastal Cleanup, which includes efforts to remove marine debris from the ocean floor. Volunteers use specialized equipment to collect trash from deeper waters.
American Littoral Society: While primarily focused on beach cleanups, they also support efforts to address marine debris in deeper waters. Their annual New York State Beach Cleanup involves thousands of volunteers who collect and document debris.
Project AWARE: This global movement of scuba divers works to protect the ocean, including removing underwater debris. They often organize Dive Against Debris events, where divers collect trash from the seafloor.
NOAA Marine Debris Program: This program works to prevent and reduce the impact of marine debris through research, prevention, and removal efforts. They collaborate with various organizations to address underwater debris.
