Forepeak Solutions supports maritime, riverine, and marine cultural nonprofits with a focus on the New York Harbor Estuary and its historical waterways network through strategy, execution, and implementation services and a commitment to fostering cohesion and collaboration across a broad range of stakeholders, including arts, heritage, ecology, planning, athletics, industry, and advocacy. Much of this work focuses on marketing and communications providing context for history and connection to people’s lives today.
What does mean?
