The Waterfront Alliance's, Heroes of the Harbor, honors members of the waterfront community for their unique contributions to making the New York Harbor and waterfront an exceptional place to live, work, and play. A highlight of the evening is the Parade of Boats, an urban flotilla of dozens of boats—big and small—that delights our guests and the public as it passes Chelsea Piers. Personalized ring buoys are presented to our “heroes” during dinner.

As their signature annual fundraising event, Heroes of the Harbor raises critical funds to support our work to protect, transform, and revitalize the New York and New Jersey harbor and waterfront.

Ocean Frontiers III - Film Screening & Panel Discussion

Wed. November 8th at Farmingdale State College's Little Theater

Roosevelt Hall, 2350 Broadhollow Rd, Farmingdale, NY 11735
6:30pm reception; 7:00pm film & discussion 

New York’s ocean use is growing rapidly, with massive new ships, soaring demand for offshore sand mining, and proposed wind energy development offshore. Our busy waters are also home to endangered whales and sea turtles, and support thriving fishing and recreation industries. It’s more important than ever that we plan ahead for responsible ocean growth. Join us for a special screening of Ocean Frontiers III. This hopeful film explores the challenges at the heart of ocean conservation and development, presenting solutions from a range of people who are leading the way to a healthy and sustainable ocean future. Participate in the post-film conversation and learn how you can get involved. A panel of experts will be on hand to answer your questions.

Free and open to the public! Sponsored by NYSMEA, Farmingdale State College Renewable Energy and Sustainability Center, and many others. RSVP to save your seat at http://bit.ly/OF3-Farmingdale.
