Ecology Projects

RTB’s On-Water program is based on environmental restoration and monitoring. Students work closely with many scientists to help design projects for the Bronx River. Once the projects are designed students continue to be involved by working out in the field collecting all the necessary data, then students record and analyze all the information they have found. The results of water monitoring tests, oyster projects and creel surveys are sent to scientists who then use the information to plan research projects that help determine the condition of the water and its effects on life in the river.
