Ever wondered what lives beneath the waters of the Hudson River?
Join the team from Columbia University Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory on Saturday, August 10th from 2 - 4 p.m. at the Piermont Pier and find out!
The Great Hudson River Estuary Fish Count is taking place at 19 sites along the banks and piers of the Hudson from Staten Island in New York City to Peebles Island State Park in the Capital Region. Fresh upriver and salty at New York City, the Hudson estuary and its watershed are home to more than 200 fish species. During this family-friendly event, participants are invited to explore the amazing variety of slippery, wriggly, and fascinating creatures usually hidden below the river’s surface. Depending on the site, seines, minnow traps, and rods and reels are used. Participants may don waders to help haul a seine - a curtain of net used in shallow water - or try their luck with a fishing rod. After naturalists display and discuss the catch, the fish are released back to the river.
The Great Hudson River Estuary Fish Count is free. For details on sites, locations, and times, please visit DEC’s website: www.dec.ny.gov/lands/97891.html. The event is sponsored by DEC’s Hudson River Estuary Program. ... See MoreSee Less

Yesterday we caught this pregnant male lined seahorse with volunteers from Moody’s Analytics! You can see his engorged brood pouch, full of eggs deposited by his female mate, at the intersection of his trunk and tail. Within a couple weeks, he will have a live birth, during which hundreds of tiny lined seahorses will be expelled from the pouch. We released this seahorse back into the river so that he could give birth in the wild. . . . #bestdadever #seahorse #seahorses #pregnant #pouch #animalsofinstagram #fish #ecology #marinebiology #hudson #hudsonriver #moodysanalytics #volunteer #volunteering #environment ...
