Saturday, October 3 from 11 am–3 pm
Emily Warren Roebling Plaza, Brooklyn Bridge Park
Join the Wildlife Conservation Society’s New York Aquarium and partners for a free, family–friendly STEM festival. Learn about the ecological, economic and cultural importance of Hudson Canyon and its connection to New York Harbor and communities across New York and New Jersey.
This builds on the work that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is leading to designate a new national marine sanctuary in the Hudson Canyon area.
The festival is intended to mark the one-year anniversary of NOAA’s Hudson Canyon research cruise and the 101st anniversary of the Arcturus Oceanographic Expedition which was led by scientists and artists from the Wildlife Conservation Society. To celebrate these historic anniversaries, the festival comes one week after the public presentation of , AQUA COSMOS: The Hudson Canyon, which was projected on the Brooklyn Bridge the evening of September 25 in Emily Warren Roebling Plaza in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
