Join Urban Swim and Billion Oyster Project on City of Water Day 2024 as we swim around Governors Island, NYC to raise awareness of water quality and the work that is being done to address it.
The swim will start from an NYC Ferry Boat at 10:15AM, in the vicinity of Castle Williams, and will proceed counterclockwise around an island that was once a military installation and is now a thriving urban retreat and future home of the New York Climate Exchange. The swim will end at Pier 101 where Billion Oyster Project and Urban Swim will be sharing information and data from the Community Water Quality Testing Program, and Billion Oyster Project’s efforts to improve NYC’s waterways through oyster seeding and stewardship.
