Hudson River Estuary Program

The Hudson River Estuary Program is a conservation initiative aimed at protecting and restoring the health of the Hudson River’s estuary—where freshwater from the river meets and mixes with saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean. It focuses on maintaining clean water, healthy habitats, and diverse wildlife, while also supporting sustainable land use and community engagement. The program works with partners to preserve natural areas, improve water quality, and ensure the estuary remains a valuable resource for ecological health, recreation, and the local economy for future generations.
