In the final episode in our season on rewilding, we’re visiting New York Harbor. Commonly considered a high-traffic waterway beneath skyscrapers – New York Harbor actually was once one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. It was full of living reefs of molluscs that filtered the harbor and created a thriving habitat for other creatures. But as the city grew, the harbor fell silent. Today, New Yorkers are trying to reinvigorate a harbor rendered lifeless by replenishing the very population they destroyed a century ago: oysters.
Marcella Durand reads an excerpt of her poem, The Ways of East River Park, about embracing a new form of urban ecosystem that brings humans into the habitat of the harbor.
