New York City has found a new way to clean up its waterways: with heavy machinery. From pulling out giant abandoned boats found sunk in Flushing Bay, to everyday garbage polluting the waters, it’s not just an eyesore. “These vessels are not just unfortunate to look at,” Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said. “They pose serious risks to our community’s safety and marine life we all depend on.” The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has contributed more than $2 million to help bring in the equipment and crews needed to clean up waterways around the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn. #queens #nyc #nbc4ny #aoc
