CarmenCommunityArtist’s ‘Yarnbombing The East River’ commissioned by Friends of the East River Esplanade was AMAZING—a vibrant, joyful, creative work that surprised and delighted kids, runners, bikers and anglers. And I say WAS…because less than one week after it was hung, it was STOLEN. Why?!? Our group is 😢 😢 😢 Carmen worked for 6 months on this project and collaborated with kids from East Harlem and crocheters from Puerto Rico to create a colorful celebration of the ElBarrio community. If you have any information or would like to return the work🙏🤞🙏 please reach out…

EsplanadeFriends—proud recipient of this amazing grant that helped us build our Bait Station — used and appreciated by local anglers all year round! And we are thrilled to repeatedly partner with NYSDEC and EsplanadeKids in our community to offer 🎣 🎣 clinics at the site!

New York Sea Grant has administered two distinct small grant programs — one in the Marine and Coastal District and another that's ongoing in the Great Lakes region with funding made possible by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

This collaboration has created and is creating big opportunities for sportsmen, residents, and visitors to access New York’s aquatic resources statewide.
