This spring, we’ve organized a restoration cleanup and marsh planting at Plum Beach, a section of Gateway National Recreation Area and a major spawning beach for the ancient horseshoe crab. In May and June during the high tides, the crabs come ashore to lay their eggs as they’ve done for millions of years. This provides a critical food source for the many species of shorebirds that are migrating through New York City. Small fi sh such as mummichogs and killifi sh join in the feast as well. JAMAICA BAY RESTORATION PROJECTS: Since 1986, the Littoral Society has been organizing annual PROTECTING OUR MARINE LIFE shoreline cleanups to document debris and create a greater public awareness of the issue. This September, we’ll conduct Home to many species of fi sh & wildlife, Jamaica Bay has been many cleanups around the bay as part of the annual International degraded over the past 100 years through dredging and fi lling, Coastal Cleanup.

On May 30, 2017, on behalf of the Morris Park BID Steering Committee, the Department of Small Business Services submitted a district plan for the Morris Park Business Improvement District (BID), Borough of The Bronx, Community District 11. BACKGROUND The Department of Small Business Services (SBS), on behalf of the Morris Park BID Steering Committee, submitted an application to establish the Morris Park BID.

The proposed district comprises 188 properties along both sides of Morris Park Avenue, bounded by Unionport Road to the west and Williamsbridge Road to the east, for a length of 1.06 miles.
