A virtual visit to Jamaican Bay via runoff. Because even when we don't go to the shore, our rain water does.
According to this MS4 outfall map, Jamaica comprises a large part of the city's MS4 system. I live in Southeast Queens, and if I'm reading the map correctly, our local rainfall (and any pollutants swept up with it) flow unfiltered into Jamaica Bay via Bergen Basin. I haven't taken public transportation since March, so I chose this site because I can make a virtual visit to the bay by observing the rain and thinking about it's path to the shore.
