Nature on the Edge of New York City

Imagine a place where a rich diversity of far-out fish, birds, and sea creatures are everywhere, scores of animals are migrating, feeding, spawning, or nesting far and wide. All of nature is on the move and erupting with life. Greetings from Lower New York Bay. Although located in one of the most urban coastlines in the world, it's a stirring spot on the edge of the Big Apple to see Nature!
