CURB participated in the 18th Annual Day in the Life of the Hudson and Harbor event, organized by the @nysdec and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Participants from over 50 sites sampled the Hudson River, collecting valuable data on water quality and the health of the river. This was the first time that the event was held virtually, with live streams and videos recorded for participating schools. #hudsonriverestuary #yonkers #water #fish #research #waterquality #students #teachers #sarahlawrencecollege

Yesterday our staff had a busy day filming content for virtual lessons. They decided to wrap up the day with some Hudson River seining. This was our first time seining since the start of the pandemic and it was a great catch! Check out the video! #hudsonriver #seining #yonkers #fish #nature #research #sarahlawrencecollege
