Nitrogenated Marine Park
Fenella Regina Nyoto & Maggie Su
The work is part of a joint research stemming from 'Phragmiticide', a project by Fenella Regina Nyoto which takes place at Marine Park in Brooklyn, New York. The nitrogen influx coming from the nearby wastewater treatment plant and the adjacent golf course’s use of nitrogen-rich herbicide leads to the uncontrollable growth of the invasive plant species, Phragmites Australis. Phragmites’ dominance, facilitated by the absence of competing native plants and their diversity, has altered ecology, disrupting the life of native wildlife, increasing susceptibility to invasive pests, and consequently, disrupting the built environment.
