PortSide NewYork is a waterfront-focused nonprofit based on Pier 11 in Red Hook, Brooklyn, operating as a living laboratory for urban waterways. Its activities center on integrating the working waterfront with public access and community development, through programs that bring education, culture, workforce development, and neighborhood promotion onto and alongside the water. The organization uses its historic ship, the MARY A. WHALEN, as both a mobile program unit and office, hosting initiatives that connect communities ashore and afloat while advancing water-themed outreach.

Originating from efforts following Hurricane Sandy, PortSide NewYork has pursued flood preparedness and resiliency initiatives and aims to curate and house a resiliency center. The nonprofit works within the maritime transportation sector to demonstrate practical, place-based solutions for water-related urban challenges in New York City, positioning itself as a catalyst for combining public access, the working waterfront, and community vitality in the region.
