Abstract

New York Bay is one of the most important transition regions of ships trading to east America. The region plays an important role in the commerce of the New York metropolitan area. The area is surrounded with the coasts that have various levels of environmental sensitivity. The area accommodates high diversity of native ecosystems and species that are rather vulnerable in case of oil spill. Thus getting well informed about the likelihood, or fate, of oil spills around this region is of great importance so that proactive measures can be taken. The purpose of this study is to investigate the oil spill and predict the future accidents likely to be encountered around the Bay of New York. Two trajectory models have been conducted for the study. ADIOS (Automated Data Inquiry for Oil Spills), has been conducted for natural degradation calculations, and, GNOME (General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment), has been conducted for surface spread simulation. The results gained through these efforts are hoped to be useful for many organizations dealing with oil spill response operations and contribute to an effective and efficient coordination among the relevant institutions.

Abstract

During the past quarter of a century, the neglected, post-industrial waterfront of New York has been transformed into lively parks, playgrounds, sports facilities and promenades. Bicycle and pedestrian routes have been built along wharfs, opening them to the public, while the banks of the East River have been connected by the local, highly popular ferries. This paper discusses the history, mechanisms and consequences of this process, the foundations of which were a skilful policy of the city authorities and proper use of urban planning tools.
