First, I noticed that there were a lot more people out fishing than I had seen previously, probably because it was a gorgeous weekend day. I also saw that there were puddles of water under the FDR near where people had set up their fishing poles. I don't know if this observation might help us when thinking about what part of the site might be suitable for reintroducing wetland habitat, if that is a direction we want to go in.
The next thing I noticed was an area that might be interesting to intervene in on the site. There is a part where the fence juts out a little bit and water splashes up quite vigorously. I found this little spot to be a great example of what happens at the waters edge in an estuary.
I also took some photos of what once was a pier and made a montage of the beachy area under the Brooklyn Bridge. I still need to do some research to find out why that little spot is beachy. It did seem like it was at a higher elevation than the surrounding water, which might have something to do with it.
