• To show the conditions of the East River and Bronx River aquatic life, engineers and designers from NYU installed sensor filled buoys (via New Scientist):

Over the next month, New Yorkers will be invited to text “EastRiver” or “BronxRiver” to 41411: they will be informed of the number and species of fish that are moving around the arrays at that moment.

And there’s a twist: the text messages read as though the animals themselves had sent them. So at 1.52 am on Friday, a herring in the East river texted New Scientist: “It’s pretty nice down here.” Dissolved oxygen, apparently, was higher than the week before.
