you did a great job of explaining how do water testing it could have been better if we had a bigger boat so it wold be easier to see/ take pictures of things. one thing u should do is stop talking bad to your all the time. aslo if your the captain help the power and leader rowers starbort or port beucase we were always crashing in to the rock or a wall . do us a favor DONT KILLS US OR WE’LL KILL U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Josue doing part of the water testing process.
Cecilia doing water testing . She is testing how much oxygen in the water.
On tuesday it was my first time on rocking the boat. I had to do sound on tuesday i was on the boat with two more people nia and josue. Josue is our teacher he was talking to us about the water. we were talking about the water how clean it was and if the fish had oxygen so they could breath with out any problems. I realy had a great time.

It was fun to be rowing the boat with CC and the others I think that the river look better than last week . I hope that the river gets cleaner and that the oysters that are on the river don’t die anymore .While I was rowing the boat my hands got tired but I was still using paddle to move the boat .

Can you see the baby oyster ?
This is Hector and Frankie they are taking coordinates from the GPS
hi everyone. it was really fun to be looking for the oysters. was any baby oyster stuck on to the buoy? if oysters were found how many were there?
rowing for the most of the day was fun because usually i’m only being captain after little time of rowing and it was really fun to actually row for the most of the time. and dominique you are cool captain.

This Tuesday it was my first time being captain. It seemed hard but I think I just need practice. I found out that oysters are a great asset to the Bronx river. They help filter out the river and make it a healthy environment for the other fish.

This is an oyster colony.
This is a colony In place.
on tuesday the river was dirty and oily. was the river fine? did anything happen to it? is it okay?
Hey everyone,
This is Wes. I intern with BRAC and spent the last two tuesdays on the Bronx River with the “Rocking the Boat” Program.
Frankie, CC, and I spent our day on “Range”– a noble vessel who makes up in speed for what it lacks in size.
Our trip was narrated by whatever songs we could come up with. We started with such hits as “Row, Row, Row your boat” and ended with the lesser known “They see me rowin’, they hatin’,” and “row it like its hot.”
When we were able to shut up for a few moments, Frankie and I recorded sounds of the river on our portable minidisc sound recorders. We’re spending today listening to, and editing the sounds we recorded.
On our way back from our cruise down the river toward the mighty bay, we rowed into a brackish cloud of unidentified reddish brown stuff I affectionately term “the dirty brown.”
Obviously troubled, CC and her fellow leaders began radio chatter, calling each others attention to the surreptitious cloud. They concluded that tests should be done on the unidentified lurking liquid.
And so the mystery remains, what is the dirty brown? From whence has it came?
…is some of that dirty brown mine?
