The Department of Environmental Conservation is setting new pollution limits that will determine how clean our saline waters will be for swimming, boating, and fish habitat. We need your voice to ensure the state chooses standards that drive investment in clean water infrastructure to reduce sewage pollution.
Urge your representatives to pass Class C stream protections and the Living Shorelines Act. These bills are critical to helping waterways and communities withstand climate change impacts such as storm surge, sea level rise, and loss of habitat.
Send a message to Governor Hochul and your state representatives, urging them to support S. 9164/A.10184, which would expand New York State’s bottle deposit program to include non-carbonated beverages as well as wine and liquor glass bottles.
Tell Governor Hochul we need her leadership to prevent Asian carp from entering the Hudson River via the Erie Canal – a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect native ecology.
Riverkeeper’s advocacy is paid for by people like you who care about protecting the Hudson River and our drinking water.
