    United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922

    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

MARciN* THE SCENEt Long before remembered time, ice fields blanketed central India, discharging floes into a sea covering the Plains of Punjab. The Argentine Pampas lay frozen and still beneath a crush of ice. Ice sheets were carving their presence into the highest mountains of Hawaii and New Guinea. On the western land mass, ice gutted what was, in pre-glacial time, a stream valley near the northeastern shore. In this alien epoch, when woolly mammoth and caribou roamed the North American tundra, the ice began to melt. Receding glaciers left an inland lake where the primeval stream valley had been. For a time the waters of the lake reposed in bo- real calm, until, with the melting of the polar cap, the level of the great salt ocean rose to the level of the lake.

Inventories of native plants reveal many to be rare species surviving the harsh conditions encountered in urban ecosystems.

    Water Quality Featuring Brett Branco (BB) Hosted by Helen Cheng

    Episode 2: Water Quality Featuring Brett Branco (BB) Hosted by Helen Cheng (HC) Air Date: May 2017 Animals need it and people too; water, water everywhere. But is its quality that we are aware? Welcome to Jamaica Bay. -Music interlude- You’re listening to Jamaica Bay, a podcast series bringing you stories of the people that work, live, and play in Jamaica Bay, New York City. I’m your host, Helen Cheng. And I’m from the Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay and New York Sea Grant. -Music interlude- Beyond the skyscrapers and the masses of people, you might not realize it at first but New York City is more than just a booming metropolis. BB: “Well, New York City is an island. Manhattan obviously and Staten Island obviously, but even Brooklyn and Queens are part of Long Island. And we’re a coastal city so we’re intimately tied to the waters.” To learn about the New York City waters and Jamaica Bay waters, I sat down with BB: “Brett Branco, I’m a professor here at Brooklyn College, also hold a joint appointment at the CUNY Graduate Center. I’m also currently the director of the Urban Sustainability Program here at Brooklyn College.” Brett does research on shallow, coastal, and inland waters. A lot of his research looks at human impacts on estuaries and coasts especially in New York City bodies like Jamaica Bay. In particular, he’s looking at the water quality of Jamaica Bay. HC: “What is water quality and why is it important?” BB: “Yea, that’s sort of people’s favorite questions to me.

From Flatbush to Flushing and Morrisania to Midtown, parks are the front and backyards of all New Yorkers. Well-maintained and designed parks offer recreation and solace, improve property values, reduce crime, and contribute to healthy communities. SHOWCASE : Kissena Park The Daffodil Project, a partnership between New Yorkers for Parks and the NYC Parks Department, was cre- ated as a citywide beautification project and living memorial to September 11. Each year, thanks to the generous donation of B&K Flowerbulbs, the two groups distribute hundreds of thousands of free daffodil bulbs for volun- teers and community groups to plant in New York City’s parks and open spaces.

This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.
