The New York seascape – 16,000 square miles of ocean from Montauk, New York, to Cape May, New Jersey – is an ecological treasure trove. These waters support migratory, nursery, and foraging habitats for globally threatened animals, including sea turtles, sharks, and whales, as well as for hundreds of other species of fishes, invertebrates, and seabirds. To ensure a safe place for wildlife in these increasingly busy waters, the Wildlife Conservation Society’s New York Aquarium conducts scientific research, advocates for species and habitat protection, promotes sustainable ocean use and cultivates local marine conservation stewardship.
