City of Water Day 2012

Another amazing organization contacted Launch 5 this year, and they are The Waterfront Alliance.

They began as a project of The Municipal Art Society of New York, and became an independent organization in 2007 when a group of leading activists, businesses, foundations, and civic organizations came together with the goal of making the New York and New Jersey harbor a shared, resilient, and accessible resource for all. Since then, the Waterfront Alliance has grown into a coalition of more than 1,000 organizations working together to bring about real change to our regions waterways and 700 miles of shoreline.

Every year they host The City of Water Day, which is a “free harbor-wide day organized by the Waterfront Alliance and its partners to get people to, on, and in the water. Launch 5 was asked to be on call as part of the on-water security team for all of the events that day. The Launch 5 crew as usual, was ready and willing to help.
