We take a look at the beautiful but dangerous Spotted Lanternfly, an invasive species originating in China, that has recently spread from Pennsylvania to NY, threatening our ecosystems and economies.
Would you swim in the NY Harbor? If you say, “No”, you’re onto something. We aimed to compare water quality in Jamaica Bay in the summer and winter by looking at how temperature relates to dissolved oxygen and Secchi depth.

Bivalves, like mussels and oysters, play an important ecological role as filter feeders by filtering out algae, bacteria, and pollution to keep our waterways clean, but have died out in estuaries like NYC Harbor due to overconsumption and pollution. We examine the relationship between harbor water quality and the observation frequency and diversity of bivalves in hopes of determining the best ways to protect them.

As the world becomes more interconnected, the potential for invasive species to successfully integrate into native ecosystems of the United States increases.
