NYC Students Plant 100,000 Beachgrass Stalks to Shield Coney Island from Floods
Nearly 4,000 New York City public school students have participated in a coastal restoration effort at Coney Island Creek Park since 2022. The initiative is led by the National Wildlife Federation's Resilient Schools and Communities programme. Students, teachers, and community members have collectively planted over 100,000 American beachgrass culms across 2.25 acres of coastal dunes. The project is designed to stabilise dunes, curb erosion, and strengthen flood defences for more than 50,000 residents living near the park.
