Today on World Fisheries Day, we celebrate the Hudson River—its history, its struggles, and our fight to restore its fisheries. PCB pollution shut down the commercial fishery, and we’re still working to clean up the river & hold polluters accountable.

Riverkeeper thanks Governor Kathy Hochul for saying "no" to the idea of repowering the decommissioned Indian Point nuclear power plant. Proposals to bring nuclear power back to Indian Point ignore the substantial remediation needed to rid the site of its current radioactive contamination.

Commentary: Harmful algal bloom in Hudson may be unprecedented, but it won't be the last
State leaders must see this outbreak as a call to action to prepare for the next one.

Did you know that New York City dumps 21 billion gallons of raw sewage into local waterways (including the Hudson River) every year? ❌💩🌧️
It doesn’t have to be this way, and we’re advocating for improvements at the local and state levels.

Participated in @riverkeeper.org’s annual #Riverkeepersweep yesterday! Our group removed over 40lbs of trash from ~300’ of the Bushwick Inlet. Scrounging for “treasures” under rocks was satisfying, esp. when wedged pieces required some gumption and brawn 😂 Great group of folks. Good haul 🦾
