Along a stretch of coastline still marked by Hurricane Sandy, volunteers gather in rain or shine to restore the coastal dunes that separate the beach from the last line of houses. It’s part of a push by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) to protect Coney Island, which has one of the highest concentrations of low-income, high flood risk census districts in the city. The long-term effectiveness of projects like this, however, depends on far more than volunteer labor alone.
