PPT-Assessment of Invertebrate Biodiversity in the Gowanus Canal

Academy For Young Writers Demetria Mack Juliane Letren amp Nathaniel Swanson Mentor Sabrina Miller Abstract Biodiversity is the variation of life at all levels of biological organization The Gowanus Canal is wellknown for being highly polluted which affects . The complexity and rich diversity of life found in forests provides many vital services to human beings Nonetheless humans are destroying forest biodiversity at an alarming rate The conversion of forests to agricultural land overgrazing unsustainabl Narrative Writing.

With dwindling biodiversity in the New York City marine ecosystem, it has become increasingly important to conserve the fragile populations that currently exist. One of the most significant reasons that the marine biodiversity has been decreasing is due to severe pollution. To combat pollution and decreasing biodiversity of the New York City waterways, groups such as the Billion Oyster Project have been adding adult oysters to different locations in the waters in hopes that they reproduce in the the new environment and can be reestablished as a keystone species in the New York waters. Before this can happen the water quality needs to improve. Luckily one oyster can filter between 20 to 50 gallons of water in one day. We want to compare present-day species richness in the Bronx River to the species richness recorded in a 2002-2004 study of the same area. Our results indicate that the present-day species richness in the Bronx river is 14, which has improved since the 2002-2004 study in which the species richness was 9.9. . . Waleed . Awwad. ..

During this project we evaluated the change in marine invertebrate biodiversity of the East River over time. We compared our results to a 2015 study of biodiversity conducted by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. Our results indicate a decline in the species richness from 12.5 species in 2015 to 9 species in 2017 in the East River just south of the Williamsburg Bridge. This means that there is still a long way to go in restoring the NY Harbor to its former levels of biodiversity when native oysters were in abundance..
