Several crumbling boats were recently removed from Jamaica Bay, as part of an initiative to clean up the waterway.

Councilman Eric Ulrich and NYC Parks Department Senior Manager of Citywide Marinas Nate Grove were joined by Councilwoman-elect Joann Ariola and community volunteers in Howard Beach on Friday, Dec. 10, where a barge held three derelict boats that were recently retrieved from Jamaica Bay.
