Last Friday we had Department of Environmental Conservation's Region 4 law enforcement officials aboard for a patrol from Saugerties to Waterford. We’ve worked with DEC Region 4 law enforcement before but this full day regional patrol together is a first.
It was great to spend the day sharing info about cases and areas of concern - I learned a lot.We observed several issues which they indicate they will follow up on next week.
Already in the works are possible joint efforts in the upper Estuary during the 2012 season.
I really appreciate the opportunity this relationship offers. Together we can to do more to protect the River.
