Elias Dueker Environmental and Urban Studies Program, Bard College 1 ABSTRACT The presence of Legionella pneumophila was assessed using a cultivation-based approach in New York City waterways, a freshwater portion of the lower Hudson River Estuary near Kingston NY, and in urban and suburban street water. Legionella pneumophila was detected in 51% of brackish New York City Estuary samples, most with concentrations near minimum detection (1 organism/ mL). In contrast, it was detected in 22% of suburban freshwater Hudson River Estuary samples. Levels of the bacterium were found to be higher during wet weather compared to dry weather in the highly dense urban setting, but not in the less dense suburban/rural settings.

Bullard Northeast Regional Administrator, NOAA Fisheries Greater Atlantic Regional Office 55 Great Republic Drive Gloucester, MA 01930 Christopher M. Moore Executive Director Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council 800 N. State St., Suite 201 Dover, DE 19901 Thomas A. Nies Executive Director New England Fishery Management Council 50 Water Street, Mill 2 Newburyport, MA 01950 Dear Messrs. Bullard, Moore, and Nies: I am writing to request that all midwater trawl vessels be required to carry a federal observer on every herring and mackerel trip, without exception, and that you move forward without further delay in the development of the Omnibus Observer Coverage Amendment for the Northeast. Improved monitoring of this industrial fleet is long overdue, and the amendment should be advanced immediately so that the fishing industry can contribute to the management of its use of public resources no later than fishing year 2015. Midwater trawl vessels target Atlantic herring and mackerel, but we know that they catch a significant number of severely depleted river herring and shad, and juvenile haddock which are taken as bycatch. Comprehensive observer coverage (with no waivers or loopholes) is necessary to document the high volume of marine life and its make up that is caught by these industrial vessels, ensure compliance with fisheries rules including catch caps and dumping restrictions, and improve the science that provides the foundation of effective management. In June 2012, both the New England and Mid-Atlantic councils voted for 100-percent observer coverage on midwater trawl trips (in Amendments 5 and 14).

Silver, Commissioner Introduction The mission of the Natural Resources Group (NRG) is to protect, restore, expand, and manage New York City’s remnant and restored natural areas. The mission of the NYC Urban Field Station (UFS) is to improve the quality of life in urban areas by conducting and supporting research about socio-ecological systems and natural resource management. Each year, research permits are reviewed and issued by the NRG via the NYC UFS to researchers interested in conducting scientific research on NYC Parks properties. Overview In 2014, 68 research permit applications were granted by the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation Natural Resources Group. Out of all the permits granted, 24 were renewals of ongoing research projects. Research was distributed throughout the five boroughs and spanned multiple parks, habitat types and taxa. Research applicants also spanned a range of organizations including public schools, universities, environmental organizations, government agencies, and other local organizations. We also issued our first research permit to a Canadian organization, the Canadian Museum of Nature, this year.
