New York Harbor, NY & NJ (Drift Collection)
NY-NJ Port Authority
225 Park Ave. South
New York, NY 10003
The Drift Collection program is critical not only to ensuring safe navigation into and out of one of the world's busiest ports, but also to ensuring clean beaches and healthy tourism along the New Jersey shore. The Army Corps, along with the Environmental Protection Agency's Region 2 Office, is responsible for a "Floatables Action Plan" to collect floating debris in the ocean that could wind up on our beaches. Implementation of the "Floatables Action Plan" has dramatically reduced the number of beach closures due to floating debris.
