That'd be great at protecting Manhattan and along the Hudson and East rivers but it'd be a disaster for extra tidal build up along Staten Island, NJ south of the Goethals, southern Brooklyn and Queens, and communities outside a barrier at say Hell's Gate. Plus, the Hudson has a huge flow and some sort of never done before pumping system would be needed to keep it from overflowing it's banks.
