Council candidate plans Coney
Island Creek scuba cleanup
BY ROSE ADAMS
Talk about diving into local politics!
A 22-year-old politico running for
Coney Island’s Council seat has vowed
to strap on scuba gear and plunge into
the fetid Coney Island Creek, where he
plans to make good on his promise to
clean up the community.
“There a lot of rumors that the creek
is very dirty and I believe them,” said
Steven Patzer, a candidate for Council
in the 47th District, which also includes
Bensonhurst, Gravesend, and
Seagate.
Patzer is working to put together
a dive team including himself, and
other licensed frog men from across
the borough willing to brave the notoriously
contaminated waterway,
which one local green thumb compared
unfl atteringly to the Gowanus
Canal.
“Most of the creek bottom is what
we call black mayonnaise — very fi ne,
easily dispersed toxic material,” said
environmentalist Ida Sanoff, adding
that a combined stormwater and sewer
outfall empties into the canal. “The Interstate
Environmental Commission
came down a few years ago, and basically
found pure sewage coming out of
that outfall.”
The Council candidate said his team
won’t mess with the toxic goop lining
the creek’s bed, but plans to collect the
more commonplace junk you’d expect
to fi nd littering a municipal waterway,
some of which Patzer became familiar
with when he participated in a dive off
of Rockaway Beach with scuba diving
do-gooder org, the Superdive Foundation.
“We took any fl oating debris, we
pulled old fi shing nets that could be
harmful to marine life, glass…a lot of
plastics… those are some of the things
we’re looking for,” he said.
The cleanup won’t be Patzer’s fi rst
volunteer mission in the community—
since announcing his candidacy
in June, the former president of the
Thomas Jefferson Young Democrats
has participated in a variety of beach
clean ups, job fairs, and giveaways.
But the Coney Island Creek event
will be Patzer’s largest undertaking
yet, since the cleanup requires the completion
of waivers, certifi cations, and
even $1 million or more worth of insurance
in order to get the permits for the
event, Patzer said.
The dive will also be a historic one
— according to locals, there haven’t
been any diving expeditions in Coney
Island Creek since before Superstorm
Sandy, more than seven years ago,
when the late diving expert Gene Ritter
made the plunge. But even Ritter, an
City Council candidate Steven Patzer plans
to hold a scuba dive clean up in the Coney
Island Creek. Photo courtesy of Steven Patzer
experienced, hard-hat diver, found the
creek challenging, and not many other
divers have tried it, according to a local
maven.
“I would say it’s kind of unusual,”
said Charles Denson, an expert on Coney
Island Creek and the founder of
the Coney Island History Project. “It’s
dangerous; there are cables and sharp
things.”
Denson also worried that the 2012
superstorm may have mixed up sediment
and waste at the bottom of the
creek, making conditions worse.
“After Sandy, I don’t know what
they’re going to stir up,” he said, adding
that he hoped Patzer was HAZMAT certifi
ed, which would allow him to handle
hazardous materials.
Patzer didn’t say if he’s seeking
HAZMAT certifi cation, but claimed
that he’s already secured permission
for the Department of Environmental
Protection for the dive, and that he
hopes to hold the cleanup within the
next couple of months.
“Planning a dive requires a lot of research
and safety planning. When everything
is acquired and I am positive
all our divers will be safe, we’ll schedule
a date,” Patzer said.
Patzer’s run for Council was greeted
with skepticism after locals learned that
he moved to the district from Georgetown,
Brooklyn for the explicit purpose
of running for Councilman Mark Treyger’s
seat in 2021. The young man’s political
aspirations are bolstered by his
serving as president of the Thomas Jefferson
Young Democrats club in Canarsie,
and the self-help book, entitled “Six
Figure Secrets,” which he authored at
19 years old.
