1. Brooklyn Bridge Park Marker
The various shoreline conditions found in the park increase ecological diversity and act as a protective buffer during storms and major floods. A constructed version of a natural costal environment, THE SALT MARSH creates a dynamic tidal ecosystem. Its changing tides and fluctuating water levels help establish a viable shallow-water habitat for fish, birds, and other aquatic life.
