SUMMARY:Q&A with John Henkelman: Paddler of the entire Hudson River
DESCRIPTION:John Henkelman is an experienced paddler\, Registered Maine Guide\, American Canoe Association instructor\, and Ph.D. student in Natural Resource Management whose research focuses on the human connection to rivers. This summer\, he is paddling the entire 315-mile length of the Hudson River — from its source in the Adirondacks to New York City — to raise awareness and funds for American Rivers\, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting and restoring waterways nationwide. Along the way\, John is measuring water quality\, documenting the river’s health\, and engaging with riverfront communities to understand their relationship with this iconic waterway. \nJohn’s paddle journey ended this weekend\, at our very own 19th St. Bunker dock! Join us Tuesday evening at the boathouse for a casual chat and Q&A with John to hear about his journey raising awareness\, measuring water quality\, and connecting with fellow paddlers!

SUMMARY:MUCKING THINGS UP: Noah Chesnin & Tanasia Swift
DESCRIPTION:MUCKING THINGS UP: Noah Chesnin & Tanasia Swift\n\nan intertidal talk with the Gowanus Dredgers \n\n \n\nJanuary 27\, 2025\n7 pm\nGowanus Dredgers Boathouse\n165 2nd Street\, Brooklyn\nFree\n  \n\nJoin the Gowanus Dredgers for the first talk in our new Mucking Things Up series launching this year! We’re hosting a series of informal talks focused more on storytelling than slideshows. Come learn about our harbor habitat.\n\n\nWe’ll be hearing from the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Noah Chesnin about the little-known Hudson Canyon\, a giant underwater landform out in the ocean in the coastal shelf off New York. There’s a movement afoot to designate it a national marine sanctuary\, and we’ll learn why it’s so special – from the marine species (including some Gowanus creatures) that need it for habitat to the chemosynthetic undersea vents awaiting further exploration in the Canyon. Learn about an upcoming series of dives into the Canyon coming up this summer. \n\n\nOur second speaker is someone who’s known around New York Harbor for her work with the Billion Oyster Project\, Tanasia Swift. A diver who knows a thing or two about many unusual nooks and crannies around the estuary\, Tanasia will let us know more about the organisms and ecosystems that we might not notice in our day-to-day interactions with the waters we encounter. \n\nSupport from Citizens Committee for New York City.
