Every year, the New York State Water Resources Institute at Cornell supports research that addresses critical water resource issues in New York State and the nation. This project focused on increasing students' connections to their local watersheds by allowing them to develop their own water literacy and discover that the ocean is relevant to them and their communities.
Students from schools from the five boroughs of New York City, Yonkers, and Nassau County, participated in a series of interactive webinars to learn about local watershed research and outreach. Students also attended "It's My Estuary Day" an annual large-scale event held in Brooklyn to participate in water testing, beach cleanups, and more.
