Just off the New York coastline lives an undersea wilderness. Sharks, sea turtles, dolphins, whales, seals, skates, and rays swim below the many flying shorebirds and seafaring ships of the eastern Atlantic. In all, more than 300 fish species feed, breed,and migrate through the New York Bight, which stretches between Montaukin northern Long Island to Cape May in southern New Jersey.

Launched recently, WCS’s New York Seascape Initiative will aim to keep this 15,000-square-mile corner of the Atlantic, and its adjoining tributaries, thriving with an abundance of wildlife.
