Where?

On the upper left side of the center of the island, there is an area dedicated to hammocks. With 4 red hammocks surrounded by fences, trees, grass, and flowers this place has become one of the perfect spots for anyone to relax. However, due to high tourism, this place has grown unprotected. Under the hammocks the grass is all dead, there is litter everywhere, and a section of the fence that was made to protect trees has been broken. This leaves most of the life vulnerable. If the trees and plants die, less oxygen will be released while more greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere.

New York Harbor School Marine Affairs students will engage with partners to map Governors Island and its Climate Engagement. Students will create a Green Maps of Governors Islands' Relationship to SDGs - the Sustainable Development Goals, climate education, climate change vulnerabilities, innovation approaches to climate solutions, and bring waste to the visible eye. These maps will aid in students engaging in their community, displaying incorrectness and education to the public during climate week. Student-led and student-created. This will be something that will live and evolve each climate week as our city and world revolve around emerging climate issues. This student will swing back to update and evaluate our local and global progress.
