Video: Capt. John Lipscomb on the Hudson River, ‘this giant machine of life’

Riverkeeper’s Captain John Lipscomb has a special perspective on the Hudson River, logging about 6,000 nautical miles a year in the Riverkeeper patrol boat. In this video interview at Shattemuc Yacht Club in Ossining, he describes the importance of seeing not just the scenery of the Hudson, but the “living river.”

“The magic and the mystery of this giant machine of life is the part that’s the most hidden.

“The view is easy. But the life under the water, which is the real river – is hardest to see.”
