Ep.57: Rockaway Beach Closures and Nat. Gas Pipeline discussion with an industry insider

Right on top of Memorial Day Weekend, the unofficial start to beach season, the NYC Parks Department drops the news that due to extreme erosion it is closing indefinitely the beach between 89th St and 102nd in Rockaway. We speak with Local's Surf School co-owner Mike Reinhardt about the pace of erosion he's seen first-hand and how the closure might affect other businesses on the boardwalk. Our feature interview is of Danny Collins: former fossil fuel worker brings us into what he learned fixing nat. gas infrastructure in Texas and how that informs his understanding of the proposed Williams pipeline to run underneath Raritan and Lower New York Bays.
