'DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE HUDSON RIVER' INFORMATION
The event is designed to celebrate the Hudson River Estuary and educate participants on the uniqueness of our estuary as part of the annual recognition of "National Estuaries Week". The event is coordinated by The Hudson River Estuary Program of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Each fall, environmental education centers are encouraged to team with school classes along the Hudson River to create a day-in-the-life picture of the river from the Troy Dam to New York Harbor.
The event began in 2003 with a modest 300 plus student participants and has grown until this October 2009 we involved 3000 students at 62 sites from the New York Bight up to Lock 5 in the Hudson River. Each site gathers data on the Hudson and shares their results, gaining a better understanding of this historic and vital estuary system. Data, Lesson Plans, Resources...lots of resource materials are provided here for your use in joining us on a virtual exploration of the river...and plan to join us in 2010 for your own dip in the Hudson River as part of Snapshot Day 2010 (date to be posted soon!)
How can you get involved? Contact Margie Turrin of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, or Chris Bowser, or Steve Stanne of The Hudson River Estuary Program to learn more about this event.
