On June 26th approximately 400 jet skis traveled from Long Island City in the East River, around the tip of Manhattan and up the Hudson River toward the George Washington Bridge, part of the annual New York City Jet Ski Invasion.
Video of the event, which has been held since 2017, can be seen here.
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Marine Enforcement Unit Environmental Conservation Officers worked with the U.S. Coast Guard, New York City Police Department, New York Fire Department, U.S. Park Police, and New Jersey State Police to provide safety zones for other vessel traffic and aid stranded operators or disabled jet skis.
