Abstract

How does a massive investment with the primary goal of preventing devastation from storm surge impact shoreline programming, habitat, and community’s relationship with the water’s edge? In this chapter, we discuss three shoreline protection projects in various stages of planning and design. Hunts Point is in the South Bronx, the Brooklyn Greenway extends through multiple shoreline communities in Brooklyn, and the East Shore of Staten Island—one of the hardest hit areas within the five boroughs of New York during Hurricane Sandy.
