Jewel of the Harbor

Where?

Governor's Island has many benefits, especially regarding nature and mental health. Governor's Island is calm and beautiful because it's isolated from Manhattan, with abundant ecosystem services in action and conservation at work. Many things are happening on this island, such as attempts at reaching the Sustainable Development Goals. The New York Climate Exchange ( https://nyclimateexchange.org/ ) is working on bringing stakeholders together to develop practical solutions to emerging issues of our time. The New York Harbor School ( https://www.newyorkharborschool.org/ )and Earth Matter ( https://earthmatter.org/) are two top stakeholders engaged in substantial, hands-on, data-driven, social equity-driven approaches to tackling these issues. Earth Matter and one of the Career Technical Programs at New York Harbor School, Marine Affairs ( https://harborpolicy.org/ ), work tirelessly on managing and educating on the island's Zero Waste Mission.
