Hello and welcome to another edition of the POCACITO conversations. Today’s episode takes us to Jamaica Bay in New York City and was recorded on Sunday, February 8, 2026.
I am Max Gruenig, your host for today and I met with Elizabeth Stoehr Deputy Director with the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy and her colleague Anil Pasram Stewardship Programs Manager with the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy as well as Wetlands Fellows Devin Johnson and Matthew Wojcik. They braved pretty low temperatures to meet on one of the coldest days of the season.
This is part one of two of recordings around Jamaica Bay.
Elizabeth is a member of the German-American Nature-Based Solutions Exchange GANBASE, a program run by POCACITO and supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany, funded by the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE).
I first talked to Elizabeth at the Jamaica Bay Parks Conservancy office in Rockaway Park, on Jamaica Bay, before meeting Anil and the Wetlands Fellows at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center. We then ventured out into the cold, taking what is normally a quaint stroll.
Thank you so much for tuning in today into part one. Our next episode takes us to Floyd Bennett Field, a former airfield on Jamaica Bay where we will meet with Terri Carta, the Executive Director at Jamaica Bay Rockaway Parks Conservancy, as well as Elizabeth.
Many thanks to Frankum for the music.
