Another fantastic November day along the Hudson! #Yonkers #HudsonRiver #Fall #CURB #NewYork #Westchester #riverviews
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

In this episode Elle teaches us about the oyster, a shellfish which is an important indicator of water quality. Get to know this bivalve with a shell show and tell which will take a closer look at the anatomy of an oyster! #eelstoestuaries #oysters #hudsonriver #teachers #students #virtuallearning #science #environmentaleducation #resourcesforteachers #children #shells #sarahlawrencecollege
