Editor’s note: We recently covered the City of Water celebration at the National Lighthouse Museum last weekend. This event is tonight, and there is a participation cost of $75 per person. Guests will be joined by a naturalist and a lifeguard and will Kayak together while on the river. NLM previously hosted a boat tour during the full moon on the Hudson River during which a discussion of the history of the waterway was presented by a local historian. There was also a 9/11 Newark Bay History tour back in 2023. Staten Island’s ferries are being tested for an upgrad to cleaner, renewable diesel fuel instead of the petroleum based fuel they currently use.

American Littoral Society
The American Littoral Society promotes the study and conservation of marine life and habitat, protects the coast from harm, and empowers others to do the same. Since 1961 we have empowered people to care for the coast through advocacy, conservation, and education. We not only provide a voice for the coast, but also give concerned citizens the knowledge and tools they need to raise their voices with us. When we restore habitat, our objective is not only to restore a dune or rebuild an oyster reef, but also to motivate people to invest “sweat equity” into a piece of the coast, take ownership and become committed stewards. When we educate, we don’t merely provide books, CDs, or handouts.
