Rising temperatures on land and water, swelling seas, flooded streets: global overheating is here.

Our city’s rainfall has risen 20% since the mid-20th century. And with 520 miles of coastline, many of our neighborhoods are especially vulnerable.  

350Brooklyn’s theme for the 2025 Mermaid Parade is “Water is Rising, and So Are We.” We aim to draw the connection between burning fossil fuels and the floods that affect so many of us, and to share resources for protecting our homes and neighborhoods from flooding.
