The event encourages residents to appreciate their local
waters.
The free community open house taught people about
preserving local waterways like the East River and Long Island Sound. Water
safety and shoreline cleanup were also topics of discussion.
Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson praised how
important the event is for the borough.
“This is the hidden gem of the Bronx, it’s a great SUNY
institution,” Gibson said. “Many alumni have come through Maritime and now we
just want to prepare for the next generation of SUNY Maritime students.”
People were also able to enjoy the waters by kayaking,
going on power boats and sailing.
Boogie Down to the Sound was halted due to COVID-19 for the
previous two years.
The first Boogie Down to the Sound event in 2019 attracted
over 1,000 people from different sections of the Bronx and surrounding
communities.
