Set on Governor’s Island in New York, surrounded by 538 miles of waterfront, the New York Harbor School’s FFA chapter is truly unique. After taking a ferry to school each day, students immerse themselves in two harbor-centered career and technical education pathways: Aquaculture and Marine Affairs.

Through hands-on classes and real-world work experiences, they earn certifications while exploring subjects like urban farming, composting, controlled environment agriculture, and more.

Take a closer look at how FFA members in both programs are working toward a cleaner, more sustainable estuary, where freshwater and ocean saltwater meet, all while enjoying the experience and building skills for their future careers.
