The 1,500 square miles of open waters and the 800 miles of urban waterfronts that comprise the New York-New Jersey Harbor are poised to become one of the Region's preeminent open space resources. RPA is working to ensure that the reinvention of the harbor enhances its incredible habitat resources, the character of existing waterfront communities, and the rights of the public to access the shoreline and waters.
Current priority projects include creating parks and new uses on Governors Island, establishing an 18 mile Greenway along the Brooklyn Waterfront, redeveloping Riis Park and Fort Tilden on the Rockaways, and the promoting the preservation of the estuary environment while modernizing our port facilities.
