Protect the Beach, Protect the Bay, Protect Communities: A Call to Action in NYC
Join us for a panel discussion inspired by the Respect campaign that targets the threats to Rockaway and Jamaica Bay such as climate change, plastic pollution and access to water safety resources. We will focus on the interconnectivity of these issues by bringing a social justice lens to the conversation to highlight the responsibility we all have to Protect the Beach, Protect the Bay, and Protect Communities!
We aim to deepen the understanding of the environmental and societal issues that are impacting the Rockaway and Jamaica Bay communities. Attendees will feel empowered and inspired to play a role in respecting the community and contribute to the solution.
The Panelists:
Shanna Blanchard - Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy
Saylor Pochan - Surfrider Foundation NYC
Emilio Tobón - NYC Audubon
Warren Sampson - The Laru Beya Collective
Moderated by Nikita Scott - Surfrider Foundation NYC
