"that's why i'm going, and for that i'll have to overcome a lot, and not me, you 'll have to do a lot too, well, god willing, let's take a photo for memory, without any restrictions, current time in telegram, everything in one place, on a convenient platform free from censorship, telegram channel current time, subscribe share with friends. the last summer and the first autumn greetings from the atlantic. welcome

to long island, the rocky peninsula, this is south queens, the most that new york is not driven by, you can come here by car, but also by public transport, quite not difficult, blue line subway, bus or ferry on sundays. in fact, in the big apple there are eight full-fledged beaches, the one we showed you in manhattan last time is not one of them, because you can’t swim there, but you’ve already seen brighton beach without us, so we decided to go further. and the largest, one of the largest city beaches in the united states. and for those new yorkers who decide to stay home for the long weekend on labor day, this is a good budget option for the weekend. we are here, by the way, for the first time. let's sunbathe together. this is the voice of the americas. project new york new york. how to save the shark and stop being afraid of the most unpredictable predator of the atlantic, as well as the real story of the film jaws. how to save the ocean. learn to fly

on the waves, a free surfing camp from a former financier, how manhattan hides from floods and builds protective walls, a system of protection from future natural disasters in action, how to get a free haircut with a view, and also meet your first hairdresser central park, philosophical scissors by herman james. look, there's a shark, looks like it decided to commit suicide. look, look, a shark, they 're going into the water, i think something happened to it, we just saw that the foxes and the shark swam to the shore and clearly could not go back into the ocean, me and another guy rushed to help tried to direct it into the ocean, and the tide continued to wash it ashore. why weren't you scared of the shark, do you know for sure that it's some kind of harmless species? no, i don't know, but to me it didn't seem scary,

she looked scared and clearly needed help, so i thought i should help, i grabbed her body, the second guy grabbed her head, and together we tried to push her into the ocean. there were no traces of blood on her? no, no blood, it seemed to me that she had lost her mind, was disoriented and did not understand how to get back. this year such a picture on the beach of doom beach is not at all uncommon, but we did not expect to see it right away, as soon as ... right on the beach, i remember this theme of the jaw, from the film that only two notes john williams, but what tension, immediately comes to mind when you see something like this. this, by the way, is one of the most memorable and beloved themes in the history of hollywood. the new york philharmonic will arrange three live concerts at once at the end of september based on the film "jaws". this is when the orchestra is on stage, the film itself is on the screen. this is not accidental. author,

the fictional resort town of amity was not in california or florida, in the northern part of long island, just 2 and a half hours from the beach of fatal beach. sand dunes, beach fences and the coastal flavor of new england. the cult film about the killer shark was filmed on martha's vineyard in massachusetts, but in peter benschli's bestsellers, the resort town of amity was located a little further south and was part of the hamptons region on long island. the same landscapes,

the polyjaw became a world sensation, giving rise to a psychological phenomenon, after watching the film, many admitted that they were afraid to go into the water for a long time, and interest in everything related to sharks grew into a real excitement. the fear of sharks even has a scientific name galeophobia, from the greek galeos (sharks). this concept became established in the public consciousness in the 20th century with the beginning of the era of mass beach holidays, when there was still so much to know about sharks. everything changed after the incident off the coast of new jersey near new york, when several people died as a result of shark attacks from july 1 to 12, 1916. the whole of america followed the development of this story in the press. over 12 july days off the coast

of new jersey in 1916 , five people fell victim to shark attacks, four people died. two of them were not even near the ocean shore, in the matawan river, which flows into the atlantic, where the shark swam. these events shocked america and caused a real panic, it was the attack of the shark of the coast of new jersey that formed the basis of peter benshli's novel jaws. the author was also impressed by the news of the capture of a great white shark by one of the fishermen off the coast of long island in 1964. in the sixties of the last century, they were caught several more times in the area of ​​the island. in 1974 , peter benshli's thriller was published. see living around nearby. in new york, if desired, anyone can, a special pavilion was built for them in the city aquarium, there are 18 species here, and for the water area of ​​​​new york beaches of long island sharks are also not uncommon, but this year there are especially many of them, for the coast of long island, the summer of 2024

has undoubtedly become the summer of the acu. in july, police drones recorded sharks several times in the immediate vicinity of new york city beaches, especially often lesson beach. state authorities reported increased surveillance measures shark activity off the coast. since 1937 , there have been 24 official unprovoked shark attacks recorded on new york beaches. shark sightings off the beaches of new york and long island are increasing every year. scientists and oceanographers believe that this is no coincidence and explain why. the most important thing for those going to the beach is awareness. you need to pay attention to whether there are any noticeable schools of fish that attract predators? the basis of the food chain of the middle atlantic is

atlantic herring. and most of the marine predators in our waters hunt for it. if you see fish splashing on the surface, it is better to get out of the water for safety. there really is a noticeable increase in fish off the coast of long island. in 2019, new york lawmakers banned catching it with fishing nets. another reason for the frequent appearance of sharks can be considered the proximity of the hudson underwater canyon, where several species of atlantic sharks live. the hudson underwater canyon is one of the largest underwater canyons of the world's oceans, just 150 km south of manhattan. it's like another planet, and the new york aquarium has been able to partially recreate its landscape. in 2023 , a shark attack on a person was recorded on a new york beach for the first time since the last century. this summer there were no incidents, but due to sharks getting too close to the shoreline

, new york beaches had to be temporarily closed several times. but in general, shark attacks and shark incidents, according to echthyologists, in the new york area, however, it is a rarity. vacationers are advised to be careful and watch for lifeguard announcements on the sandy beaches of long island, which have gained worldwide fame thanks to the novel by peter benschli and the blockbuster by steven spielberg. these red flags, empty lifeguard benches indicate that this part of the beach is closed. the recent tropical storm ernest has provoked a number of rip currents, which can easily carry a person out to sea. lifeguards are in great need in new york, there is a big problem with them, this year they were supposed to hire about a thousand

professionals, they managed to hire four times less. firstly, this is seasonal work, secondly, it is dangerous, thirdly, in order to become a lifeguard, you need to pass a whole series of special tests, and in order to... the task is not to take your eyes off the ocean. usually the beach is full on weekends, about 500 people gather here, our task is to monitor what is happening on the water, as you understand, you must be sure that everything is okay, that everyone can swim safely, have there been any incidents while you were on duty, well , how can i say, they say there are dangerous rip currents near the shore now, yes, we have a lot of rip currents now, give me some advice on how to behave in such a case, on the shore and in general do not swim too far, it is always unsafe. how do people treat you?

judging by the movies and tv series, everyone loves lifeguards. usually people listen to us and respect us, i would say, there was no such thing as ignoring a lifeguard. everyone understands how important our work is. in general, because of shortage of guys like oen, professionals, had to change the schedule of new york beaches. now they are open only from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. although young people with the figures of lifeguards of malebu ride on...

the story of larubey began with the fact that my daughter, when she was 9 years old, wanted to go surfing, eight of her friends joined her, money for...

we also go surfing in other countries, to bali, costa rica, nicaragua, some of these children have never flown, for them there are so many discoveries in travel. we are not only about surfing, we are also about any help that children need in their education. for example, one of our volunteers, nadya holgrin, from... she is a famous documentary filmmaker, one of her latest works is a film about michelle obama, my daughter

became interested in documentary filmmaking, and nadya helped her, we are about community connection with each other, i work in finance, i have been volunteering here for the second year, every weekend, it is amazing to see how children develop and grow, one guy grew up over the summer by... i go rock climbing with aitan and somehow she asked me to volunteer, to which i said, i don't know how to surf at all, she replied: great, you can catch children when they are covered by a wave, i started surfing in 2016, and then i wanted to volunteer, i went to laruya, since then i've been here, i used to work in finance, i recently paid off the loan for the house, sent all my children to college. saved money since 2022 began to devote all my time to this project.

my wife supports me in this, she takes an active part herself. she brings and takes some of the kids who can't get there, she also brings snacks, fresh fruit, cookies, candy bars. i, as a mother to everyone here, bring food, take the kids out, i'm one of five in a family and i'm used to taking care of them, when i see the kids getting better, it warms my heart. i'm from belize myself, i'm a garifuna, i came to america in the eighties from the caribbean. means on the beach. now let's do some beach cleaning. here are the gloves and the bags.

these are straws, they don't belong on the beach. another important part of our organization is to teach children to care for the environment, several times a month we all clean the beaches from garbage, you can see, some children have these bags, when they are in the water and see garbage, they catch it and put it away, we want to save the ocean, and if not us, then who will do it? the hand beach is wide and long - it is almost 9 km of almost white sand, here it is customary to measure the distance in blocks or as we say in quarters, so it stretches from the ninth street to 149, that is 140 blocks, every year one of the sections of the beach is closed

for reconstruction, hidden protective structures are erected , filled with sand, this is absolutely necessary for ... to combat soil erosion and flooding. the sleeve was the first area to take the brunt of the most destructive hurricane in the history of new york. sandy passed along this coast 12 years ago. the line, the first line of houses was completely demolished and burned, now, as you can see, everything has been restored. in new york, every year more and more have to to deal with natural disasters. there is now a flood wall being built around our main island of manhattan. it is a sliding gate, the wall is capable of closing off the entire area around it if there is a threat of a major hurricane. my name is kate boycourt, and i work at the environmental defense fund on climate resilience. this is one of the floodgates that was installed in manhattan after

hurricane sandy. new york city has been hit by several major hurricanes in the last 15 years. there is a big project proposed by an engineering by the us army corps, it's a mix of a lot of these seawalls in different parts of new york city, and the army engineers have also developed some

projects, like seawalls that are buried under the sand, they kind of integrate with the beach. it reduces the risk of storm surges. we're seeing a lot of policy changes now in terms of how, where, what we build, what efforts are being made to restore natural flood control solutions, particularly green infrastructure. these areas are needed to absorb water during hurricanes. for example, during hurricane ido there was extreme rainfall, a huge amount of precipitation fell in a short period of time. if you ask any passerby on the streets of new york, he will tell you: in the last 10 years, and i have lived here for 15 years, we have seen much more rain, abnormally strong compared to what we had before, so it is not even a question, climate change - myth or reality, we see climate change even in our

subway, i once got stuck for 2 hours in the subway trying to get home, it was... because of the intense heat. i want people to understand, we are paying for climate change now. we are in this situation, first of all , because we have lost, destroyed all our natural places, all the natural means of protection in this city. well, the water does not bite. this time, the water is cool, but clean, i would even say, very clean, in general, over the past 4 years , only 6% of water samples on newark beaches exceeded the permissible

standards, and the fatal scourge has never been among the violators, 4 years, that is, since the beginning of the pandemic, when everyone was saying that nature had cleared up, but it seems that here it hasn't even had time to get polluted yet, a lot of terrible things have happened since then, it seems that we have all changed, i recently met a hairdresser in the central park who cuts everyone's hair for free, this habit has remained with him since the lockdown. we cannot control what happens to us, we cannot influence the situation, but we can change our attitude towards it. i really believe that every cloud has a silver lining, even in the worst things you can see something good. my name is herman james and i'm the barber at central park. i usually try to get here around 9 or 10 in the morning, unpack

and wait. and it's amazing how the universe works, how naturally and organically everything happens. people are walking by, and suddenly someone's like, "oh my god, i was just getting a haircut and i didn't know where." and then, completely by chance, you're right here. are you ready? i've been using scissors since i was 12, my dad cut my hair when i was a kid and it was so funny, he so neatly laid out the scissors and combs that it seemed that he was about to give a stunning haircut, but everything turned out exactly the opposite, this is what prompted me to pick up the knives. at first i cut my own hair, then my younger brother, so i decided to go to hairdressing school, i realized that this profession allows you to yourself.

that you will be hit by a car, because there was no one, i was not going to set a price for haircuts or even ask for money, many were in a difficult financial situation, people were losing their jobs, people were losing their lives, sick and i wanted to make sure that everyone could get their hair done with me, but a lot of people were just grateful that they could get their hair cut because they had a lot of zoom meetings, we were working virtually, we had to sit in front of the camera and they looked pretty... unkempt, a lot of people hadn't seen that much hair since high school, you know, a lot of people just don't believe it, they walk by and they see an ad for free,

they think there's some kind of trick to it, they ask what's the catch, i say there's no catch, people just leave something as a token of appreciation, i cut their hair, and they decide for themselves whether they want to thank me? so, if you like, they set their own price, that's how it still works, but there are reasons why i don't have imitators and competitors in this business. it's not easy. for example, i don't have electricity , all my tools are cordless. i have to charge them at night to last the whole day. and then the weather conditions, the weather dictates my schedule, and i can't go to work if it's very cold, because hands don't wash at temperatures below 7°. but these minuses are worth the pluses, i meet people from all over the world, and it's just amazing, and i can do what i love right in nature,

and this is the best office in the world for a hairdresser, after all, the first barbershop in central park in its entire history, this is new york, and any unusual things here very quickly become the norm, this is also a big deal, because in the end, it is people who are the true value. i tell my clients all the time, it's not money that cuts your hair, but a person, and it's not money that teaches your children at school, specific people, when you're sick, in the end it's not money that helps you and treats you, it's people that do it, so i firmly know that you need to invest your energy and time in people, because then you yourself become an important asset , a very necessary person for society. bro, what did you come in for, i appreciate it, how do you like it?

it's great that you went into the water, at least ankle deep, after all, summer is ending, well at least there are still 22 days left until the autumn equinox, see you in the same city but in a new place, this is the voice of america, the new york new york project, like everyone.
