Join Us For the Annual NYS DEC Great Hudson River Fish Count
On Saturday, August 10th from 11 am-3 pm, join us as we participate in the 13th Annual NYSDEC Great Hudson River Estuary Fish Count at the Hudson River Field Station. Help explore the amazing variety of slippery, wriggly, and fascinating creatures usually hidden below the river’s surface.
From New York Harbor to its headwaters, the Hudson is home to more than 200 species of fish. During the Fish Count, participants will collect some of these fish using seine nets, and check out the fish, crabs, and other river life caught in its mesh. Stop by to jump into the water or just check out the different species of fish and crabs! This event is sponsored by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Hudson River Estuary Program and Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve and is operated in collaboration with Lamont’s Hudson River Field Station at the Piermont sampling location.
This event is a free, family-friendly event and does not require registration!
