This document summarizes the status and trends in Jamaica Bay based on the latest studies. It discusses water quality, ecosystems, flooding, and communities. The document outlines an integrated assessment and planning project with stakeholder input to improve habitat/ecosystems, reduce flood risk, and improve water quality. Preliminary findings note that two conceptual scenarios provide habitat and flood protection benefits in the next 20-30 years, but uncertainties remain about longer term sustainability due to changing conditions and costs.
