The North Cove is an ancient cove, and native American canoe launch. Later it developed in to a dock area in the Industrial Revolution, and then, sadly, an illegal garbage dump for decades, until it was rehabilitated, by Jim Cataldi, of the NYC Wetlands organization. In the middle of the concrete jungle, hidden between a parking lot, and a train yard, is this oasis of trees, ducks, geese, blue crabs and muscles. Here, Mr. Cataldi, has established a Federal Wildlife preserve to protect this ancient site and natural wildfowl migration point.
