Whether you are aware or not of an issue regarding a major pipeline going through Floyd Bennett Field ( part of Gateway Harbor National Parks) , there is for your information a petition generated to counter the pipeline project.

Its a principle of our national parks should be impacted or usurped by commercial interests? If you feel this sentiment, signing the petition is a right step in that direction.
