Going Coastal

Going Coastal

Going Coastal is an EPA award winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit grassroots organization formed in 2003 to connect people to coastal resources by raising awareness of the coast's value as a natural, cultural and recreational resource. Through the efforts of its volunteers and information initiatives they inspire adults and children to appreciate, enjoy and preserve it.

Publishing

They publish "Going Coastal New York City", a guide to waterfront access in the five boroughs. The guide informs residents and visitors about the recreational, cultural, historic and natural coastal resources on NYC’s 578 miles of shoreline and outlines ways for them to participate in the preservation and restoration of the waterfront. The 2nd edition of the guide is due spring 2008.

Going Coastal Boston & Going Coastal Baltimore are in production.

Going Coastal also restored to print and updated "A Maritime History of New York" to increase awareness of the city as a seaport. The title, originally compiled by the WPA Writers’ Project, had been out of print since 1941. Its efforts to make the book available were acknowledged in Proclamations issued by both the Mayor’s Office and the City Council.
