When people think of New York they often think of the big city, but let's not forget about the New York Seascape. It happens to be a habitat for tons of animals including migratory whales, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks, and over 300 species of fish! Who would have thought? The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has launched the New York Seascape project to pretect these guys. WCS is working with New Yorkers to reconnect them with the rivers and coastline.
So far, they have made progress! According to WCS "A healthy sign of ecological resurgence popped up in the Bronx River this summer, in the form of a buck-toothed, paddle-tailed creature: a beaver. Justin Beaver, as WCS fans named him, is only the second wild beaver to return to New York City in more than 200 years. He joins "José," discovered in 2007 and named for Bronx Congressman José E. Serrano, a tireless advocate for the river's restoration."
