Our Hudson River program includes six core areas. Investigating and enforcing illegal pollution and fighting harmful development proposals are the heart of our hard-hitting environmental activism. We have full-fledged campaigns to remediate two persistent abuses: General Electric's PCBs and power plant fish kills. We also improve public access and opportunities for clean boating and sustainable fishing on the Hudson.

Citizen enforcement brings environmental lawbreakers to justice. Our patrol boat, investigators, volunteer watchdogs, and attorneys investigate, remediate, and deter illegal pollution.

Re-industrialization and overdevelopment threaten to reverse recent gains in water quality and destroy community character along the Hudson.

Outmoded power plant design and lax regulation are responsible for ravaging the Hudson fish population. Available technology can reduce fish kills by 98 percent.

PCBs have destroyed the Hudson's fishing industry. The battle continues to force GE to clean up its mess—the single largest superfund site in the country.

Public access to the Hudson has been severely restricted by the railroad and the development policies of River towns.

Sensible boating practices and proper fisheries management will keep the Hudson vital for future generations.

One of the most basic and frequently asked environmental questions in the Hudson Valley is whether it is safe to swim and boat in the Hudson River. Riverkeeper's New Water Quality Monitoring seeks to answer that question.
