Why we’re watching: New York City has more than 500 miles of coastline.

The city’s coastal zone is home to more than 1 million people as well as billions of dollars of residential and commercial property, and no two miles of the waterfront are quite the same. 💚

The marshy areas of southern Queens, the housing projects in waterfront Brooklyn, and the towers of Manhattan’s Financial District are all vulnerable during high tides and major storm events, and each of these areas is vulnerable in a different way.
