Do you ever wonder what lurks beneath the surface of the Hudson River? Join naturalists on Saturday, August 10, for the 13th Annual Great Hudson River Estuary Fish Count to find out! The count takes place at 7 sites along the banks and piers of the Hudson from New York City to the Capital Region. During this family-friendly, free event, participants are invited to explore the amazing variety of slippery, wriggly, and fascinating creatures usually hidden below the river’s surface. You can watch from shore or jump into available waterproof waders and help pull in the net. The fish are released after everyone has a chance to see them up close. Save the date! The Great Hudson River Estuary Fish Count is sponsored by DEC’s Hudson River Estuary Program and the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve.
