“Bayswater Point State Park reef is our first community reef location in Queens! BOP’s work at this site is just one of the restoration efforts happening within Jamaica Bay. With support from the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy and New York State Parks, we are working with local schools to use the park as an educational resource.”
