  • Marine Director WCS Finaltor
    JOB DESCRIPTION Director, Marine Conservation and Fisheries Wildlife Conservation Society Founded in 1895 as the New York Zoological Society The Wildlife Conservation Society seeks a Director of Marine Conservation and Fisheries, to be based at WCS headquarters in New York City. WCS has a long history of ocean exploration and conservation, including William Beebe’s 1934 record-setting bathysphere dive and Roger Payne’s extraordinary 1974 discovery of humpback whale songs. From these early roots, and reflecting the WCS focus on saving wildlife and wild places, WCS’ marine conservation efforts currently focus on four strategies: Marine Protected Areas, sustainable fisheries, marine mammals, and sharks and rays. Supporting these strategies, WCS maintains a strong commitment to applied marine scientific research and is building its capacity to leverage our impact through WCS’ New York Aquarium and other innovative partnerships. To deliver on these objectives at scale the Director oversees all WCS marine conservation efforts, including the implementation of marine conservation actions by ~250 marine conservation staff in Belize, Cuba, Nicaragua, Argentina, Chile, Gabon, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambiue, Madagascar, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, New York and the Arctic Beringia, as well as overseeing staff who coordinate global initiatives on marine species (cetaceans and sharks), climate, fisheries and marine policy. The program is staffed by a dynamic and committed team of field scientists based at sites around the world, and a directorate of six staff in New York. Position Objectives: * Direct WCS’s marine conservation programs across 9 global priority regions and all 5 oceans in Africa, Asia, Latin America and North America that largely focus on the establishment and management of marine protected areas, artisanal, and commercial fisheries, and the global conservation of marine mammals and sharks and rays.

  • View Project
    TAPE ART NEW YORK AQUARIUM The Bathysphere There is never a shortage of things to see on the boardwalk at Coney Island. In August 2014, however, passersby were treated to something new: Over the course of five days, Tape Art created a three-part mural on the grounds of the New York Aquarium, recalling the historic accomplishments of the Bathysphere, a deep-sea exploration capsule. 1-800-tape-art • tapeart.com TAPE ART NEW YORK AQUARIUM The project was commissioned to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Bathysphere’s descent a half-mile (3,028 feet) below the ocean’s surface, on August 15, 1934. It set a record for human exploration of the deep that remained unbroken for the next fifteen years. The capsule was the result of a partnership between William Beebe and Otis Barton, who explored the deep together from within their tiny metal sphere. Measuring only four feet and nine inches in diameter, there was no room inside for a camera of that period. Instead, they used a telephone line to verbally describe the creatures they saw to Gloria Hollister, up on deck. These descriptions were later used to create sketches and paintings of the previously unseen marine life they had encountered. 1-800-tape-art • tapeart.com TAPE ART NEW YORK AQUARIUM The Narrative Barton and Beebe were the first humans to witness deepwater fish in their natural environment, exploring a world hitherto only imagined and much mythologized. Their first-hand accounts were originally dismissed by some as flights of fancy. In the intervening years, the scientific community has identified nearly all the fish they documented.

  • THE CYCLONE, 834 Surf Avenue at West 10Th Street, Brooklyn
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 12, 1988; Designation List 206 LP-1636 THE CYCLONE, 834 Surf Avenue at West 10th Street, Brooklyn. Built 1927. Inventor Harry c. Baker. Engineer Vernon Keenan. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 8697, Lot 4 in part consisting of the land on which the described improvement is situated. On September 15, 1987, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the cyclone and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 12). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Six witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including the ride's owner, whose support was given dependant upon his ability to perform routine repair and maintenance. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The Commission has received many letters in favor of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary Descended from the ice slides enjoyed in eighteenth-century Russia, through the many changes incorporated by French and American inventors, the Cyclone has been one of our country's premier roller coasters since its construction in 1927. Designed by engineer Vernon Keenan and built by noted amusement ride inventor Harry C. Baker for Jack and Irving Rosenthal, the Cyclone belongs to an increasingly rare group of wood-track coasters; modern building codes make it irreplaceable. The design of its twister-type circuit and the enormous weight of the cars allow the trains to travel on their own momentum after being carried up to the first plunge by mechanical means. Now part of Astroland amusement park, the Cyclone is not only a well­ recognized feature of Coney Island, where the first "modern" coaster was built in 1884, but, sadly, is the only roller coaster still operating there.

  • Completing Coney's Comeback
    MARCH 2010 www.nycfuture.org COMPLETING CONEY’S COMEBACK Ten Suggestions for Making the By Jasper Goldman, David Gratt and Juan Rivero 2010 Summer Season a Success CONEY ISLAND GOT ITS FIRST JOLT OF GOOD NEWS IN YEARS THIS past December when the Bloomberg administration purchased six acres of land at the heart of the old amusement district and committed to set it aside as parkland dedicated to amusements in perpetuity. City officials then leased the site to the Italian ride manufacturer Zamperla USA, which plans to have several new rides and attractions in place by this summer—com- plementing existing attractions such as the Cyclone, Deno’s Wonder Wheel Park, Coney Island USA and the New York Aquarium. These are incredibly welcome developments for the “People’s Playground” after a turbulent couple of years in which one of the area’s two remaining amusement parks, Astroland, and a handful of other long-time attractions lost their leases and had to shut down. It’s now critical to continue this mo- mentum through the upcoming summer. After years of setbacks and nega- tive press reports, a truly successful 2010 season could re-establish Coney Island as a thriving outdoor entertainment destination, potentially leading to more infrastructure investment, the expansion of the amusement area and a greater amount of programming in the future. But making the 2010 season a success will require more than just a new amusement operator. City officials and other stakeholders will have to ad- dress several of the entrenched problems that have long undermined the area’s appeal.

  • Coney Island Comprehensive Rezoning Plan - Approved! Overview
    Projects & Proposals > Brooklyn > Coney Island Coney Island Comprehensive Rezoning Plan - Approved! Overview From its famed boardwalk, to the iconic Wonder Wheel, Cyclone, and Parachute Jump, to the once bustling midways along Surf Avenue and the Bowery, Coney Island’s legendary status as the world’s greatest urban amusement park lives in all of our memories. But over the years, this once vibrant area has shrunk and deteriorated, and is limited today to one block of seasonal amusements and a few remaining active frontages along Surf Avenue. The Department of City Planning, in partnership with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), has developed a comprehensive plan that will establish a framework for the revitalization of the Coney Island amusement area and the surrounding blocks. The plan builds upon the few remaining amusements to create a 27-acre amusement and entertainment district that will reestablish Coney Island as a year-round, open and accessible amusement destination. Outside of the amusement area, the plan provides new housing opportunities, including affordable housing, and neighborhood services. The plan covers 19 blocks bounded by the New York Aquarium to the east, West 24th View the presentation Street to the west, Mermaid Avenue to the north and the Riegelmann Boardwalk to the south. The plan seeks to: Facilitate the development of a vibrant year round, 27-acre urban amusement and entertainment district by catalyzing a variety of new indoor and outdoor amusement, entertainment, and complimentary uses, and laying the groundwork for the development of a 12-acre urban amusement park preserving and expanding amusement uses in their historic boardwalk location in perpetuity; Rezoning Area Boundary View a larger image.

    This document was developed by the Southern Brooklyn Peninsula Planning Committee as part of the NY Rising Community Reconstruction (NYRCR) Program within the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery. The NYRCR Program is supported by NYS Homes and Community Renewal, NYS Department of State, and NYS Department of Transportation. Assistance was provided by the following consulting firms: URS Corporation The LiRo Group AIM Development Jamie Caplan Consulting LLC (JCC) Planning4Places, LLC Cover photo courtesy: Butch Moran Southern Brooklyn Peninsula Conceptual Plan FOREWORD The New York Rising Community Reconstruction (NYRCR) program was established by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to provide additional rebuilding and revitalization assistance to communities damaged by Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Irene, and Tropical Storm Lee. This program empowers communities to prepare locally-driven recovery plans to identify innovative reconstruction projects and other needed actions to allow each community not only to survive, but also to thrive in an era when natural risks will become increasingly common. The NYRCR program is managed by the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery in conjunction with New York State Homes and Community Renewal and the Department of State. The NYRCR program consists of both planning and implementation phases, to assist communities in making informed recovery decisions. The development of this conceptual plan is the result of innumerable hours of effort from volunteer planning committee members, members of the public, municipal employees, elected officials, state employees, and planning consultants. Across the state, over 102 communities are working together to build back better and stronger. This conceptual plan is a snapshot of the current thoughts of the community and planning committee.
