One of the things I learned while doing my project on the Coney Island Sewershed is what dissolved oxygen is. Dissolved oxygen levels is one of the most important indicators of water quality; It’s essential for the survival of fish and other aquatic organisms. Tests done in 2015 in the Coney Island Sewershed show levels between 5.8-7.7 mg/L, while the current standard if 4mg/L. It was shocking to learn that I, like many other New Yorkers, have been swimming in waters that aren’t even fit for fish to survive in.
