Last night CURB's Jason Muller presented a lecture at Columbia University's Pollution and Water Resources Seminar. The topic was "Exploring the Biodiversity of the Lower Hudson River Through Seining and Eel Data," taking a look at our 13 years of data collected during our seining programs. #hudsonriver #columbiauniversity #sarahlawrence #CURB #research

We're currently in our 6th week of glass eel sampling and caught 57 eels in our fyke net today. This brings us up to 922 eels on the season. With several weeks still to go, we are now 99 eels below our all-time seasonal high which was 1021 eels in 2015. There's a good chance that we will pass this total in the next week or two. #americaneel #glasseel #hudsonriverestuary #fish #research #eels #hudsonriver #sarahlawrence #CURB
#Repost @riverprojectnyc (@get_repost) ・・・ Today staffers of TRP took a trip up to @slccurb to learn about other methods to sample the Hudson River. They were also given a tour of the CURB education and research facility seeing the animals housed and the lab space. Catch of the day was brought back to TRPs aquarium! Thank you so much for hosting us! . . . . #slccurb #aquarium #fish #seining #turtles #fieldtrip #hudsonriver #nofilter
It's a snowy start to spring here along the Hudson River in Yonkers where we received about 8 inches of snow yesterday. #spring #snow #yonkers #hudsonvalley #hudsonriver
Last week CURB Outreach Coordinator Jason Muller joined Sarah Lawrence students in Virginia for @slccommunitypartnerships Alternative Spring Break Trip. The group did a week of volunteer work for the Eastern Shore of Virginia Habitat for Humanity. The main tasks included insulating and drywalling a new house in Painter, Virginia. #volunteering #habitatforhumanity #givingback
Pics from our new marsh cam show some flooding along the waterfront this morning during the full moon high tide in combination with the nor'easter. #HudsonRiver #Yonkers #flooding #tides #storm
The winds from the nor'easter impacting the area are doing a number on the trees in Yonkers/Bronxville. Over a dozen downed trees were spotted in the short drive from CURB to SLC. These winds, which are gusting to over 65mph, should continue through the night before tapering off. #storm #noreaster #wind #trees #march
Today was our first day of sampling for the @nysdec American eel migration project. This is the earliest start date for our site thanks to the warm weather here during the last several weeks. We were excited to find 4 migrating glass eels in our fyke net that were counted and released. We'll be continuing with this project throughout the spring with daily sampling each Tuesday - Friday in the afternoon. #HudsonRiver #americaneel #migration #wildlife #river #research #sarahlawrence
We're excited to welcome Chip the diamondback terrapin to the CURB family! Chip, who is 7 - 10 years old, came to CURB from @teatown_lake_reservation who was looking to find him a permanent home. Chip is very outgoing and loves to interact with people so stop by and say hello! #terrapin #diamondbackterrapin #reptile #CURB #sarahlawrence
