About us
After more than a decade of leading the charge in how the New York metropolitan region views and uses its harbor, and with more than 1,000 Alliance Partners committed to bringing real change to our region’s 700+ miles of coastline, in 2019 the Waterfront Alliance stepped into a new and critical leadership role to define New York Harbor’s response to sea level rise and coastal storms. Our crucial, long-term focus on increasing waterfront accessibility for all, along with our efforts to advocate for a working waterfront that is a vital source of business activity and well-paying jobs and educating the next generation of waterfront stewards, continue as essential pillars of our work to create a well-adapted and resilient New York Harbor. Together, we build, transform, revitalize, and protect accessible waterfronts for all communities.

Hurricane Beryl, the earliest Category 5 storm on record for the Atlantic, signals a worrying trend. Abnormally high sea surface temperatures and increased atmospheric moisture—both driven by climate change—are fueling more intense and earlier hurricanes. Additionally, the recent transition from El Niño to La Niña has further amplified conditions favorable for hurricane development. This unprecedented storm serves as a stark reminder of the escalating impacts of the climate crisis on our weather systems.
