Their signs reminded of Hurricane Sandy, the fact that most of the neighborhood is in Flood Zone A and that global warming will have a huge impact on the area.
It was quite impressive how many fellow marchers who had come from all over the country, seemed to respond or ask about the Gowanus.
Obviously, there is national interest in the area. No doubt, the community is a poster child for all the issues associated with climate change.

Thanks for going to the climate march,can't believe over 300,000 participants right on New York
Gowanus is such a part of the bigger climate change picture. Sea level land in the densely used urban community, it is already feeling the impacts of heaver rainfall and storms. If you embrace sound urban planning for the area, we may find our community with many more un-inhabitable homes and no where for all those additional residents to go as the ocean continues to encroach.
