	Surfrider Foundation USA -- Coastal Factoid
		"...there is clear evidence that New York Harbor's environment remains cleaner and the water quality continues to be better than it has been since the early 1900s.
		Evidence of this improvement ranges from breeding populations of double-crested cormorants, herons, egrets and water fowl in the Harbor area, to improved populations of benthic (bottom-dwelling) organisms in Lower New York Bay.
		Perhaps the best indication of a cleaner environment to both New York's residents and visitors, is the fact that beach closures have been virtually eliminated and certain shell fishing restrictions off the Rockaway Peninsula and parts of Raritan Bay have been lifted.
